The FoodTalk Awards 2018 – entry deadline extension
It is the most-talked-about food spectacle of the year. The FoodTalk Awards are coming to London again this summer to honour the very best in UK food-tech innovation.
Inspired by the foodie trend-setters on The FoodTalk Show every week, the awards take place at the grand Banking Hall in the City on 15 June. They both celebrate the smartest products in food, drink, technology and packaging and honour the sector’s most pioneering people.
Seven categories are up for grabs, and the popularity of the awards has prompted organisers to extend the entry deadline to 23 February. The awards are free to enter and recognise everything from food products to innovative packaging and smart kitchen gadgets or apps.
However, the Banking Hall will be home to not only award winners. Headline guest speakers and the industry’s leading lights will include the show’s mastermind Sue Nelson, who is a presenter, published food writer and former CEO of NW Fine Foods.
They also include the awards’ judging panel, an industry Who’s Who made up of New Covent Garden Soup Co founder John Stapleton, Plastic Planet founder Sian Sutherland and venture investor Russ Shaw, all of them keen to spot the hottest new talent and technology the sector has to offer.
This year’s event follows the success of last year’s inaugural FoodTalk Awards, which in just one year has already become a cult hit among the most dynamic of food technology innovators and the more seasoned, big-name veterans of food and drink.
The FoodTalk Awards event is the one dinner date of the year that should not be missed and is the perfect platform to show off the big ideas that will help define the sector.
