Meet two of our speakers 

Kristy Carr, CEO and founder, Bubs Australia

The US President tweeting about your company helping out a friend with its infant formula shortage is probably about as far from normal as business can get, but that is exactly what went down for Australian infant formula company Bubs Australia, earlier this year.

At this year’s Food & Drink Business LIVE event, founder and CEO of Bubs Australia Kristy Carr will have a one-on-one ‘fireside chat’* with Food & Drink Business editor, Kim Berry to discuss the US adventure.

If that is not enough, Kristy will also share what the preceding handful of years have been like for Bubs, how you create - and remain - nimble in the most regulated industry in food and beverage sector, and her insights on being an Australian company with the majority of its business in export markets.

Jim Fader, CEO and co-founder, Eden Brew

And operating on a whole other tangent for the industry, Jim Fader is going to talk about the future of food and its production, looking at the start-up he is CEO of, Eden Brew, as an example of how you make new food companies fast, and even more importantly, successful.

Jim is one of the most highly regarded individuals in Australia’s food and beverage manufacturing sector. He has more than 20 years experience across multiple sectors and countries, as well as time spent on business turnarounds and restructures.

As someone who has been chasing innovation his whole career, he is renown for building entrepreneurial cultures with an authentic leadership style that focusses on people, pace and collaboration.

He is now applying that to Eden Brew, a precision fermentation start-up that is creating cows milk without the cow. It is going to be beyond interesting.

Buy tickets to the event here, tell your colleagues, industry peers, clients, and friends. Even your family if you think it will win you bonus points at Christmas.

We can’t wait to see you there.

* full disclosure, there will be no fire, just two chairs, probably slightly angled, on a stage.
