Foodpreneurs Festival 2024

Whether you’re new to the packaged food & drink industry or a seasoned foodpreneur, get ready for an epic celebration of all things sales + promotion at Foodpreneurs Festival 2024!

This ‘everyone is welcome’ Festival includes a packed schedule of events specifically curated for packaged food & drink brand owners, including:

• expert talks and panel discussions;
• networking and collaboration opportunities;
• business-building sessions;
• exhibits of the latest and greatest food and drink products (including yours!); plus...

… loads more to help foodpreneurs get their products on retail shelves, land in more consumer baskets and put more money in their pockets!

We invite you to get glued to a seat and take in all that our ‘mistake-saving’ speakers and industry experts have to share; or put yourself and your product in the spotlight at one of our promotion zones.

Wherever you land, you’re sure to gain valuable insights and practical tips to help you successfully scale your packaged food & drink business.

But that’s not all! Foodpreneurs Festival is hosting a thrilling event for brand owners to take their shot at coming face-to-face with retail buyers and getting their food or drink products listed on retail shelves.

Buyers are coming from all over Australia and representing a range of major independent supermarket and department store brands for foodpreneurs to pitch to at Foodpreneurs Festival on 17 May.
It’s an opportunity not to be missed!

At Foodpreneurs Festival HQ, we know no one has spare time to be traversing the country, scrolling through Facebook pages or hoping trade shows will be their one-stop-shop for sales domination (because they won’t be!), so we’ve created a Festival that provides you with the perfect opportunity to work ‘on’ your business by doing a year’s worth of sales and promotion, in one day, with all the right people, under one roof!

So come and join us and soak up the vibrant atmosphere and connect with fellow foodpreneurs. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to learn something new, meet new people, fill your little black book with industry contacts, or simply wanting to have a day out of the kitchen - Foodpreneurs Festival 2024 is for you.
