Meet the experts
Meet our esteemed panel of experts in the beverage industry!
"I launched my first drinks business Caleño, 4 years ago. In the early years I recognised the lack of diversity in the industry and female founders in this space. This is still very much the case and I'm passionate about helping to drive a change so that we may see, champion and celebrate more female entrepreneurs in this industry who undoubtedly will go on to achieve great things"

"No/low alcohol is a rapidly developing space and it’s so important to be aware of and stay ahead of the changes. I’m hoping I can share some insight into what I look for in a no/low product pushing for space on our shelves, but equally hoping I can learn more about the new and exciting developments in no/low from the founders and entrepreneurs at the event."
