Bread & Jam October Social

This month's theme is to be determined.

Enjoy an evening of networking, sharing new ideas and advice, learning new things and making new friends at our free social on Wednesday 11th October 2023, sponsored by Faire.

What can you expect? At each Social, we are joined by an industry icon who will share invaluable thoughts and insights to kick the evening off, around 6:30pm. They will give a very short 10 minute talk. There’ll be a chance to ask questions and then it’s networking time over drinks courtesy of our sponsor. No need to arrive on the dot or stay ‘til the end - it’s a social!

Who’s going to be there? We started our socials way back in 2018 as a way for like minded food and drink founders to get to know each other. 20 food founders took a leap of faith at our first one and we’ve been running them for free ever since. Today, 50-100 food founders and industry experts gather every month to make key connections.

Will there be a Producers’ Table? Feel free to bring some samples of your product if you have any and display these on the Producers’ Table for everyone to try.

How do I get there? Visit Gosnell's website for directions.

Why should you come? Being a food and drink founder can be a lonely rollercoaster! Come along and meet people just like you, who know what it’s like to be starting out in the food and drink world, share tips amongst new friends, get advice from industry experts and grow your network by making new connections that could accelerate the growth of your food and drink business this year.
