This summer, something special happened: The inaugural ‘Gather’, a powerful collaboration between Food Drink Devon and the University of Exeter brought a high-energy event to transform the regional food and drink landscape.
Gather was the ultimate nexus for the Southwest’s food, drink, farming, and hospitality sectors. It successfully pulled together industry leaders, local innovators, key policymakers, and academics for a day packed with game-changing insights.

The event was a hit, attracting over 180 attendees! It was a day designed for connection, where the region’s finest came together not just to network, but to inspire, exchange, and build a more resilient future for every business.
