BIA NOT BLUSTER
Date: Saturday 15th April
Venue: Dungarvan Town Hall
Conversation is a powerful force of change, and we need more of it, much more of it.
Twitter is/was good for sound bites, Insta is good for changing the way we fold our clothes, TikTok is well, TikTok, real conversation is everything.
This is an opportunity to get together, in person, to talk, to share ideas, to disagree, to agree and maybe to foment change for good.
We are getting together a group of thought provokers from Irish food businesses to talk, to plot a new course, to make us rethink. We are in a time of unprecedented change and change brings opportunities.
Do join us, for our first event, at the West Waterford Festival of Food, Saturday 15th April 2023.
