Snacking and Indulgence: Why Foodservice Matters - Stephen Dutton
Euromonitor International
This presentation will look at snacking through the lens of indulgence in foodservice environments. So much of food innovation is happening in foodservice, and indulgence in foodservice has a much different level of acceptance than it does in the home. Many snacks players look to foodservice for inspiration, to launch products or brands, or to engage customers.
In this presentation Stephen Dutton, Foodservice Consultant at Euromonitor International, will offer takeaways for snacks players and will explore the reasons they should be considering foodservice when considering their own strategies.

Tapping into Texture
Innova Market Insights
Consumers increasingly recognize the influence of texture on food and beverages, allowing a heightened sensory experience and often a greater feeling of indulgence. As the demands for plant-based foods, clean label, and sugar reduction continue to grow, the need to formulate with texture becomes increasingly critical to manufacturers. Join us for a closer look at the way texture is shaping the food and beverage space.
