Catering professionals from the Higher education sector will gather in July for the annual event to share thought and opinions, discover new trends, network and attend exclusive seminars held by food industry leaders.
The three day event, held from the 20th-22nd July, will have exclusive ‘Live Lounges’, new to the conference for 2015, where delegates will take part in a trends-led training programme delivered by TUCO suppliers.
There will be a range of cookery demonstrations from URBAN eat, Peros and McCain, who will showcase the latest food innovations.
In addition, seminars will be given from the likes of Atlantic Foods, Santa Maria Foodservice and Matthew Clark, who will cover a range of topics affecting the university catering sector.
Helen Anzani, head of TUCO learning and development group, said: “TUCO constantly looks to evolve and deliver more for members. We regularly review our offering and this year’s TUCO conference at Imperial College London is no exception.
“We have listened to feedback from previous years, making this year’s event our most engaging yet, giving our members workshops they can tailor to their area of expertise. This year’s exhibition will be enhanced with live lounges and workshops with each day focussing on either food or drink.
“Alongside the great line up of keynote speakers, TUCO will be presenting key findings from industry leading research undertaken this year. Coupled with the enthusiasm of the team at Imperial College London this is shaping up to be an exciting development opportunity.”
