Top Reasons Why You Need to Attend FoodTreX London 2019

10 July 2019

Now in its second year - the FoodTreX London | Food Travel Innovation Summit taking place on Sunday, November 3.


This is the day before World Travel Market begins, for those of you attending that event.


We know there are a lot of conferences vying for your attention. We've compiled a list of the top reasons why you should choose FoodTreX London on November 3:


  1. New information.  The content is about innovation in food tourism, and NOT a repeat of what you've seen or heard elsewhere. Also, the content you'll hear at FoodTreX will not be repeated at World Travel Market.
  2. New ideas. New information helps you to think of new ideas to help you get or stay ahead. You need new ideas to grow your business.
  3. Quality networking. Meet leading food travel industry influencers. Introduce yourself, present your business, create new partnerships.
  4. Intimate setting.  Our goal is quality not quantity. Ticket sales are limited. And in an intimate group, it's easier to meet the people you want.
  5. Convenience.  Piggybacked with World Travel Market. No need to spend extra money or time on another trip.
  6. Food Travel Matters. 93% of visitors engage in some kind of unique or memorable food/drink experience other than eating out. Don't be left out of this profitable market segment.
  7. Food Travel is Changing. You can't just put a list of restaurants on your website or organize a food event.  You need to know who to reach out to, and how to do it in order to be as effective as possible and capture more customers or visitors.
  8. Concurrent Research Summit. This year we're hosting the FoodTreX Food Travel Research Summit at the same time. Attend both summits for the same price!
  9. Quality Content. FoodTreX stands for "Food Travel Excellence".
  10. Affordable. While other London conferences cost in the £695-795 per day range, we don't think quality education and networking should have to cost that much. FoodTreX registration will be less than £395 (+VAT).


Come join us for great information, great networking and a lot of fun! Remember, FoodTreX won't be recorded so you'll need to attend in person if you want access to this fantastic content!
