Haymarket Hotel, London
We’ve booked a private room with a delicious menu at the Haymarket Hotel, London on 22nd May 2024 – and you have been handpicked to be a part of this exclusive afternoon! The aim of the lunch and afternoon is to hivemind the very latest challenges and strategies for product innovation success with other food and drink NPD professionals and the experts at TraceGains. TraceGains are also very happy to share their latest data reports and insights with you.
As NPD moves higher up the list of business priorities, speed-to-market has remained a consistent headache – and with consumer preferences and market trends evolving faster than you can say “government budget announcement” or “TikTok”, having the capacity to react and respond quickly is critical to cost-effective product innovation.
Join us for an afternoon of shop talk over an informal lunch and drinks in the most luxurious of settings, at the Haymarket Hotel, London.
Senior New Product Development and Research & Development Leaders in the food and drink industry. Please note that this event is invite only.
