Please note due to extenuating circumstances we have had to take the decision to postpone the event until the Autumn. In the meantime feel free to register so we can stay in touch for updates and confirmation of the new date.

In collaboration with Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP), Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, University Campus North Lincolnshire and National Centre for Food Manufacturing, LIBS Connect explores the food and drink sector, supporting Greater Lincolnshire’s SMEs. The opportunities are out there for SME’s to continue to innovate and grow against the back drop of a weak economy, rising costs, Brexit and the current geopolitical impact.

We focus on three key themes for SME’s, Business Growth, Carbon Net Zero, underpinned by Innovation.

We have a wonderful line of speakers to help guide and provide advice on how to tackle these critical issues with views from SME’s and their journey of business growth and how they are working towards decarbonisation.

Alongside the main event we will have a marquee for our guests to network and strike up those all-important conversations that could lead to opportunities and collaborations, whilst enjoying the local food and drink samplings!

Your hosts for the event will be Caroline Kenyon, Founder/Director of The Food Awards Company, and Sarah Louise Fairburn, Founder and CEO of Imps & Maker, who will take you through the day and join up our themes by providing context.

The days will comprise of:

• An initial networking and mingling in the marquee with our offers of local food and drink.

• Theme 1 – Growth Mindset

• Theme 2 – Innovation

• Theme 3 – Net Zero and Sustainability

We have a break for some lunch and more networking followed by the continuation of our themed discussions.

We look forward to welcoming you to what will be a impactful day with some fantastic speakers and valuable signposts for further support.

Look out for our updates as and when we confirm our speakers for the day.

This event is limited, so register today to avoid disappointment.
