About the event

More than a market update

Sweet & Savoury Sessions is our morning get-together for the food industry. It started with our bakery procurement event earlier this year, and this time we're opening it up to the wider industry.

It's a relaxed few hours. Our market analysts talk through what they're watching, and you get time with the peers making the same calls you are.
