The IFST Autumn Conference 2025 is the Institute’s flagship annual event, bringing together over 200 leaders, innovators, and experts from across the food system. Taking place on Tuesday 7 October 2025 at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham, this year’s conference will explore the critical themes of food resilience and food security; issues that are increasingly central to the future of our sector.
Delegates will engage with a dynamic programme of practical presentations, expert panels, and thought-provoking discussions designed to address the challenges and opportunities facing food professionals today. From climate change and sustainable farming to AI-driven innovation and biosecurity, the conference will offer insights that are both timely and actionable.
The event is designed to foster collaboration across industry, academia, and policy, offering a unique platform for knowledge exchange and professional networking. A pre-conference dinner and networking evening on Monday 6 October will provide additional opportunities to connect with peers and speakers in a relaxed setting.
