Ambitious conference promises insight, inspiration AND fun; plus, Early Bird
ticket discounts
The Foodservice Equipment
Association (FEA) has announced that the 2025 Industry Conference will take
place at the stunning De Vere Cotswold Water Park Hotel on 12–13 November.
For 2025 FEA is aiming to make the event
even more of a ‘must go’ for the industry.
It will feature an ambitious, fresh format driven by the newly formed conference
committee, operating under the guidance of the FEA’s marketing and revenue
committee, chaired by Kelly Barrell. Taking a strategic approach to this year’s
theme and agenda, the committee is working to widen the appeal of the event,
aiming to attract not just FEA members but also consultants, light equipment
and tableware providers, and professionals working in the operator space.
The Conference’s theme is Business
Agility, “It’s a timely focus on how companies can adapt to rising cost
pressures, operational challenges, and the ongoing need for efficiency in the
face of labour shortages,” says Kelly.
“We are designing the content to ensure every attendee leaves with
actionable insights and new perspectives.
“We all know how hard the industry
works, year-round,” she adds. “The 2025
Conference will give professionals the chance to not only gain valuable
business insights, but also to let their hair down and reconnect with industry
peers.”
The hotel, in the heart of the
Cotswolds, is surrounded by lakes and picturesque countryside. “It’s the perfect setting for an inspiring,
energising, and memorable gathering,” says Kelly. “It should deliver an outstanding experience
for attendees.”
The 2025 Conference will be
supporting the charity Military vs Cancer, with industry and military veteran
Nic Banner acting as the event’s charity ambassador. Any companies willing to donate a raffle
prize for this very worthwhile cause should contact FEA.
The conference committee is also creating
a variety of sponsorship opportunities.
“We’re inviting brands who want to get involved with the event’s fun,
high-energy networking activities to contact us right away,” says Kelly. “It’s an opportunity to gain outstanding
exposure.”
Thanks to early preparation,
tickets are already on sale, including ‘Early Bird’ discounts and, with a
limited hotel room allocation already secured, early booking is strongly
advised. “We’re anticipating a larger
turnout than in previous years,” says Kelly, “reflecting the expanded reach and
bold ambition of this year’s event.”
There are a variety of ticket
options, from conference-day-only to the full two-day package. Two-day Early Bird packages for FEA members start
at £749, whist non-member two-night packages start at £1042. Early Bird rate tickets are available until
July 31st.
