Despite the slight break due to the pandemic, the event is back and it’s better than ever, as we embrace the opportunity to network in-person again and hear from many major companies adding to the line-up of insightful talks throughout the day. The state-of-the-art venue,
the America Square
Conference Centre, brings together the contemporary with the uniquely historic in bright, innovative event spaces and meeting rooms located in the heart of the City of London’s Square Mile. Previously, the event has been attended by Mars, Nestlé,
Waitrose, Mondelez, Ferrero, Lindt, Thorntons, Tesco Stores, Green and Blacks, Hotel Chocolat, Valor, Marks and Spencer plc, Ritter Sport and many other leading players in the global chocolate industry. In previous years, 95% of London Chocolate Forum delegates said they made useful contacts that they will be following up, and 72% of those surveyed said it was “the best event in the chocolate industry,’ with 73% returning. Barry Callebaut, sponsors of the 2016 event along with other key sponsors: Cargill and Kukaxoco, told Kennedy’s that it was one of the only events in its kind that they support. Bas Smit, now Global Vice President Marketing at Barry Callebaut Group, had said: “The right people come together, and the right diverse topics are in the agenda.” Doug Rowe, of Nookie bar in the UK added: “Once again, I really enjoyed the event. It was informative, on topic and a great opportunity to meet some new contacts in the industry.”
As a networking event The London Chocolate Forum is unsurpassed, bringing together suppliers of ingredients, services, technology and equipment with manufacturers and artisan producers, to educate and inspire everyone to succeed further in this exciting and innovative sector.
