6^th March 2008

Conference Benefits

Sponsored by Enterprise Ireland and in its 13th year of running, this year's INPF will be held at The Westbury Hotel in Dublin - Join us for an insight into some of the world's newest and more innovative food and drink products and trends.

Ireland is the testing ground for many new products, before they are launched into other Western European markets, and the city of Dublin is well known for it’s vibrant atmosphere, so where better to explore innovation and the new product launches from around the world?

In 2006, the total number of food and drink products launched worldwide rose 20% to just over 105,000 items - almost 300 for every day of the year. Leatherhead Food International’s 13th annual International New Products Forum (INPF) offers delegates the opportunity to be exposed to a wide range of these new and innovative products, and listen to presentations from industry experts highlighting current and future trends in food innovation. The product exhibition at INPF will include a variety of new products from all regions of the world, including Europe, which accounted for nearly 40% of all launches in 2006, and Asia Pacific which saw the biggest increase in launches (up 30%).

The Conference includes a complimentary pre-dinner Drinks Reception the evening before, giving you a chance to network with your peers and meet some of the speakers before the day. The Drinks Reception is open to all delegates, and will be held in the heart of Dublin, giving you the opportunity to go out and explore the city’s bars and restaurants afterwards.
