On 23rd May 2019, 75 food and drink producers from all over Ireland will have the opportunity to showcase their products to a diverse range of buyers from across the food industry.
During the day food producers will have the chance to pitch their products to the top buyers from Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK who are expected to attend. The event is trade only, so it is open only to buyers from across the food industry such as supermarket groups, food wholesalers, retailers, independent fine food shops, foodservice, development chefs, restaurant chefs and more. Buyers will be able to sample a huge range of the finest Irish produce and also meet the passionate, talented producers behind it.
There will also be break-out sessions during the day, hosted by the buyers, focusing on the different purchasing strategies employed by the multiples, the products that they are looking to stock in the future, as well as major issues facing the food industry today such as packaging. Producers attending this event will also have be offered free entry for one of their products to the Irish Quality Food Awards 2019.
