With Food & Drink Business LIVE just two weeks away, it is time to meet our panellists (we met two of our keynote speakers last week – look out for Friday’s eNews for our profiles of Julia Seddon from Cress Consulting and Georgie Aley from KPMG).

Our theme this year – Business Not as Usual – will be picked apart by panellists with expertise in venture capital, health and wellness, and business sales and acquisitions

Chaired by Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry, keynote speaker Georgie Aley from KPMG will be joined by:

Founders of Table of Plenty Kate and Tal Weiss, providing insights on running a successful health and wellness brand and the process – and experience – of being acquired by Openway Food Co. last year.

Mark Ostryn, founder and CEO of Strategic Transactions will share his experiences working with food and beverage companies when they are looking to either sell or buy a business

Main Sequence partner Gabrielle Munzer joins the panel to let us in on what private equity or venture capitalists are looking to invest in when it comes to the food and beverage sector.

Whether your company is new and emerging or a heritage brand, the stellar line-up is going to inform, enlighten, and entertain.
