A strong line-up of leaders from Scotland’s food and drink industry are set to speak at a high-profile industry Brexit conference in Edinburgh tomorrow (Tuesday, September 4).

The Scotsman conference “Beyond Brexit: Future-proofing food and drink in Scotland” will examine how the industry can deliver success beyond Brexit ensuring continued growth in domestic and global markets.

Delegates will hear from industry leaders including:

“Food and drink is an outstanding Scottish success story but with the great uncertainty surrounding the post-Brexit landscape, it is essential that we future-proof the sector which is worth £15 billion annually to Scotland and directly employs around 120,000 people,” said McLaren.

“With so many unknowns ahead, forward planning can sometimes seem particularly daunting. However, with challenges come opportunities and there are lots of proactive steps our industry can take in the coming months to take advantage of the growing prospects.”

The 'Beyond Brexit: Future-proofing food and drink in Scotland' conference will be held on September 4 from 9:30am until 2:00pm at Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Tickets are priced at £79 which includes refreshments, a networking brunch and access to post-conference reports.
