Here’s a look at our last event, held under glittering chandeliers at the stunning The Park Centre in Albert Park:

We heard from inspiring speakers Rebel Food Tasmania (an insect farmer) and Chobani (an extremely successful yoghurt manufacturer) on the topic of bringing a new product to market and what you need to make your business a success
Guests attended two panels with food industry experts who shared their knowledge and vision
Attracted 20 exhibitors and service providers (accounting, commercial kitchens, web design, legal, etc), giving attendees the chance to ask any questions. They inspired, educated, motivated, and gave away some great prizes! (keep scrolling down to see the exhibitors info from the last Expo)
A catered lunch and networking opportunities with other food entrepreneurs

“Jane Del Rosso was amazing. She is a fantastic facilitator. Jane has great skills and knowledge. Extra sessions to see her outside of the course were really helpful– they personalised the Program to my business idea and let all the participants address any other issues they had. The Program is perfect for someone starting a food business as it covers all the basics.”

“I attended the Business of Food Expo in March 2018 as I had an idea for a food product. It was here that I met Jane Del Rosso and her team at The Business of Food. It was a fantastic event and inspired me to get going with my food idea. I do not have a background in the food industry but Jane has guided me through the process of setting up a food business, including how to identify my target market, where to get ingredients, how to approach retailers and distributors, on how to price my product and so on. With help from the TBOF team as well as my food safety consultant, I now produce my gelato under Dairy Food Safe regulation and sell my product in a number of premium retail outlets as well as delivering direct to consumers. My journey would definitely not have happened without the help of Jane and The Business of Food. I cannot recommend the services they provide highly enough.”
