How it works

Four steps into a new market

1
Choose your market aim

Listings, distribution, sourcing, or simply understanding where the category is going.

2
Find relevant routes

Both forums bring the UK, Irish and EU trade into one room, with international delegates hosted throughout.

3
Get practical guidance

Market research, category studies and a briefing call with the Dairy Connect team.

4
Meet the right contacts

Introductions to importers, agencies, buyers and trade bodies — arranged in advance.

Two doors into the market

Cork reaches Ireland and the EU. London reaches the UK and the world.

Irish Cheese & Dairy Forum · Cork, March

Processing, cooperative leadership and policy, with strong retail, government and EU-level representation. 150–250 senior delegates.

Dairy Connect London Forum · October

The UK and Irish trade in its international context. Around 150 senior figures, invitation-led and trade-only.

Take both and you meet the Irish–EU audience in March and the UK–international audience in October — a two-forum season that compounds.

The market

Know what you're entering

Who you'll meet

Processors and producers, retail and wholesale buyers, foodservice, suppliers, investors and policy voices.

Proprietary category research and the Dairy Mail's coverage of listings, policy and pricing.

How you get credible

An executive interview in The Dairy Mail and a showcase position in the networking space.

Before you travel

The international programme covers invitations, scheduling and a hosted table at each forum. Enquiries are answered with market context, not a rate card — and introductions are named and tracked, so you can report on them internally.
