Retail and Consumer Insight Conference 2025

Join our Retail and Consumer Insight team at a face-to-face conference this autumn.

The conference will pick out key trends impacting farmers, processors, retailers and the wider supply chain in the agricultural sector to help the industry maximise consumer opportunities.

The key themes explored by speakers from AHDB and our insight partners will be:

• Consumer trust in British farming and the latest consumer perspectives on health and nutrition
• Insight from our summer analysis around consumer views on sustainability
• Our reinventing the milk aisle research and a look at dairy trends in foodservice
• Key opportunities and challenges linked to changing in-store meat shopping behaviours

There will also be panel discussions, in addition to meat and dairy breakout sessions and opportunities for networking and delegate questions.

The venue is located between Birmingham and Coventry, approximately seven miles from Birmingham International railway station, with plenty of free parking on-site. The full venue address will be shared with you shortly after registering.
