GARY COBBLEDICK , CEO and Director of Remedy Drinks
From making sour dough and kombucha on the kitchen bench to a global brand in 7 years, Gary will paint the picture of the Remedy learnings (not always a bed of roses) and share the do’s and don’ts and the highs and lows of driving a brand in a new emerging segment – Kombucha.
MATT DEMICOLI , Managing Director of Health Lab
If you haven’t seen or heard of health lab and seen their protein balls around town then you have been living under a rock. How do you cut through in a crowded segment? Matt has all the answers.
VICKI NGUYEN , Director of Jomeis Fine Foods
If you have any access to social media then you would have seen or heard of Jomeis Fine foods. Nutritional lattes with all the colours of the rainbow. Now exporting to 7 countries and doing this almost solo. Learn the importance of your brand and packaging from Vicki.
DAVID ANDREW , Founder and Director of Naked Life and Sugar Freezies
Only David can juggle the amount of balls he does. David kicked off Naked Life sugar free soft drink back in 2016 and followed with his launch of Sugar Freezies (all-natural sugar free icy pops).
