More on This Year’s Event
The Conference will be held at the Holiday Inn West, Peterborough on 12 November 2025, and will be complemented by the AIC’s Conference Dinner, a special black-tie occasion, the night before (11 November).
The Dinner is an evening open to Members, industry stakeholders, and the trade. It will also be held at the Holiday Inn West in Peterborough, with the evening's guest speaker Baroness Minette Batters, former NFU President and a prominent advocate for British agriculture.
John Kelley, AIC's Chief Operating Officer, said: "We're looking forward to welcoming Members, industry leaders, policymakers, and guests back to Peterborough for the AIC Dinner & Conference 2025. This annual event continues to be a cornerstone for the agri-food supply chain, bringing together insight, innovation, and influence in one place.
This year’s theme, ‘Managing “New Global Norms” in the Agri-Food Supply Chain’, reflects the shifting dynamics our sector faces from climate resilience to trade volatility and evolving consumer expectations.
The conference will provide a vital platform to explore how we adapt, lead, and thrive in this new environment, capturing opportunities and strengthening our collective voice."
