Reports on trends flow into our inboxes all year long. To help us dig into what trends will stick and which will fade away, we're giving you a peek into industry metatrends: the trends of the trends. We've invited Dr. Rachel Cheatham, founder of the Foodscape Group, to present the keynote address at our Innovation Café Event.

Our Café event will also introduce you to our new class of Cappers, the ten companies we'll be selecting to participate in our nine-month accelerator.

Uncover the trends of the trends in the global foodscape. You'll be able to explore how your company and product offerings fit into the metatrends of 2018. Dr. Cheatham's team pulled together 135 publicly available trend reports, logged 2,882 raw data points, and distilled 1,050 trends into a Top 10.

The café-event style will get you talking about these trends with everyone in the room - your industry peers, our legacy companies, and our most promising young companies and industry professionals.  

WHY ATTEND?

Because you want to know that the trends your company may be pursuing, or are looking to pursue, are actual metatrends. Using the café style, this event is designed to get you talking with fellow attendees after hearing a thought-provoking keynote address. Think of it as built-in time for you to process what you've heard and learned.  Our annual Innovation Café brings together food and beverage companies from across our industry, along with their suppliers and technical and professional service providers, to learn and discuss your company's future and the future of Wisconsin's food and beverage industry.
