Food Matters Live 2014

Food Matters Live is a new event taking place at Excel, London on 18th – 20th November 2014. Dedicated to food, health and nutrition, it is bringing together the food and drink industry, retailers, food service providers, government, and those working in nutrition and health to tackle one of the most important challenges of our time – the relationship between food, health and nutrition.

This event combines an exhibition with a unique education programme including free-to-attend conferences, seminars, and practical demonstrations. It brings together over 450 speakers, 200 exhibitors and thousands of visitors from across the food and health sectors, for three days of networking, debate and cross-sector collaboration.

Artisan Food Trail member, Alan Coxon, is joining other renowned commentators, and leading figures from across government, industry, science and health as one of the conference panelists.
Alan is taking part in the session, Do we really know what we like? How the science and psychology of taste influences our food choices.
This particular session looks at the research into taste psychology and how sensory science is transforming our understanding of the influence of taste and its relationship with other senses on our food preferences.

The event looks set to be a very interesting and The Artisan Food Trail has registered to attend. There's so much on and we wish that we could go all three days to take in everything!
