The Southwest’s Food & Drink Summit

The date for the second Food Drink Summit has just been announced! Tickets will go on sale early in the New Year.

In 2025 we held the inaugural event:

The Southwest’s thriving food and drink community came together for an unmissable day of insights, innovation, and inspiration. Whether you’re a producer, entrepreneur, or industry professional, Gather was a great opportunity to gain the knowledge, connections, and strategies needed to grow and future-proof your business.

From scaling up production to navigating sustainability, branding, and market trends, the event addressed the most significant challenges and opportunities in today’s evolving food and drink sector.

As a landmark one-day summit, Gather was brought to life by passionate stakeholders from Food Drink Devon, the University of Exeter, and supported by Devon Food Partnership, Bishop Fleming, Maia Growth, Buddy Creative and Clockwork Marketing.
