Selling Organic: Building Partnerships


The conference that encourages debate and discussion
!

Due to an overwhelmingly successful inaugural event in 2009, Organic Conferences in partnership with Organic Farmers & Growers held their second annual conference in October 2010: Selling Organic: The Next Chapter. It took a bold look at the promotion of organic food and the state of the market and was backed by big names and major players in the industry. Feedback was extremely positive 'A high standard of presenter and presentations' 'An excellent line-up' 'A thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking day'

The highly acclaimed series of 'Selling Organic' events have now become a key date in the organic calendar and we are pleased to announce that Selling Organic: Building Partnerships will take place at the Barceló Oxford Hotel on Thursday 13th October 2011.

This year the theme is 'Building Partnerships', where industry members will discuss where the organic sector works well and how it can work better. Smoothly functioning supply chains are crictical to successful business, with the quality of communication all along that chain having an impact on every partners' ability to perform at the top of their game. For this year's event OF&G and it's partner, Organic Conferences are very fortunate in having a speaker line up of some of the very brightest talent from the food industry. They will examine the supply chain and share their experience on issues from buying to selling and from analysis to employing the latest in social media such as Facebook and Twitter to promote and increase business.

Anyone with a vested interest in the continuing growth of organics should attend. 

Richard Jacobs, Chief Executive of Organic Farmers & Growers and Chair for the United Kingdom Organic Certifiers Group explains:

We are delighted to once again work with Organic Conferences to bring this succesful event, now in it's third year to everyone's attention. The focus is always very much on practicalities of trading in the organic sector and with an excellent line up of speakers, a good lunch, much of which is organic, trade stands and plenty of opportunity for networking, this promises to once again be a really valuable experience for all."


During the course of the day topics examined will include marketing with social media, farmer consumer partnerships and market intelligence, an update on the Organic UK campaign and analysis of British grocery shopper sentiment. The day will culminate with 'Organic Question Time' giving delegates an opportunity to put their questions to a panel of experts. 

Confirmed speakers for the conference include Renee Elliott of Planet Organic, Mark Spofforth of lovefre.sh, Christian Payne of @documentally, Peter Whitehead of the Institute of Grocery Distribution, Paul Moore from the Organic Trade Board, Nick Barnard of Rude Health, Susanne Padel from the Organic Research Centre and Arthur Potts Dawson of People's Supermarket.
