THE South West's largest food and drink industry regional conference takes place in Cornwall on Thursday, April 2.

The day long conference will feature a programme of high calibre speakers and experts. Organised by The Chartered Institute of Marketing and sponsored by Milk Link, the event is at the Food Innovation Centre at Duchy College, Callington, Cornwall. Conference speakers from organisations such as The Guild of Fine Food, Tesco and Lloyds TSB will be covering marketing, finance, communications and innovation.

The institute's food, drink and agriculture ambassador for the South West, John Taylerson said: "A question time style event at Duchy College, highlighted just how important the food and drink industry is to the South West, and just how many local businesses and producers are keen to develop their knowledge and understanding. By bringing together award winning processors, communicators and organisations we aim to inspire and encourage businesses to not only get through these tough economic times, but develop and thrive."

Christine Marshall, operations manager for South West Food & Drink added: "The Chartered Institute of Marketing has taken on a new impetus in recent months throughout the South West. I am pleased to support the regional conference, which has the potential to be of interest to a wide ranging audience of food and drink producers."

The conference starts at 9am. Entry costs are £29.40 for Chartered Institute of Marketing members and £39.10 for non-members. For more information contact the institute's regional branch events team on 01628 427340.
