FEA Conference 2025: Bigger, Bolder, and Better Than Ever

Ambitious conference promises insight, inspiration AND fun; plus, Early Bird ticket discounts

The Foodservice Equipment Association (FEA) has announced that the 2025 Industry Conference will take place at the stunning De Vere Cotswold Water Park Hotel on 12–13 November.

For 2025 FEA is aiming to make the event even more of a ‘must go’ for the industry.  It will feature an ambitious, fresh format driven by the newly formed conference committee, operating under the guidance of the FEA’s marketing and revenue committee, chaired by Kelly Barrell.  Taking a strategic approach to this year’s theme and agenda, the committee is working to widen the appeal of the event, aiming to attract not just FEA members but also consultants, light equipment and tableware providers, and professionals working in the operator space.

The Conference’s theme is Business Agility, “It’s a timely focus on how companies can adapt to rising cost pressures, operational challenges, and the ongoing need for efficiency in the face of labour shortages,” says Kelly.  “We are designing the content to ensure every attendee leaves with actionable insights and new perspectives. 

“We all know how hard the industry works, year-round,” she adds.  “The 2025 Conference will give professionals the chance to not only gain valuable business insights, but also to let their hair down and reconnect with industry peers.” 

The hotel, in the heart of the Cotswolds, is surrounded by lakes and picturesque countryside.  “It’s the perfect setting for an inspiring, energising, and memorable gathering,” says Kelly.  “It should deliver an outstanding experience for attendees.” 

The 2025 Conference will be supporting the charity Military vs Cancer, with industry and military veteran Nic Banner acting as the event’s charity ambassador.   Any companies willing to donate a raffle prize for this very worthwhile cause should contact FEA. 

The conference committee is also creating a variety of sponsorship opportunities.  “We’re inviting brands who want to get involved with the event’s fun, high-energy networking activities to contact us right away,” says Kelly.  “It’s an opportunity to gain outstanding exposure.” 

Thanks to early preparation, tickets are already on sale, including ‘Early Bird’ discounts and, with a limited hotel room allocation already secured, early booking is strongly advised.  “We’re anticipating a larger turnout than in previous years,” says Kelly, “reflecting the expanded reach and bold ambition of this year’s event.” 

There are a variety of ticket options, from conference-day-only to the full two-day package.  Two-day Early Bird packages for FEA members start at £749, whist non-member two-night packages start at £1042.  Early Bird rate tickets are available until July 31st.
