Last week, FoodCLIC partnered with ICLEI Europe and FEAST to host a workshop at The Nature of Cities Festival. This workshop introduced the concept of Food Heroes to a wider audience, showcasing innovative and creative ways to transform food systems.   Key takeaways from the workshop:   1️⃣  Food transcends cultural barriers and serves as a powerful tool for connecting people from all over the world. Sharing ideas and experiences over food strengthens these connections even further. 2️⃣  People have unique viewpoints on food systems, shaped by their location, environment, economic background, and profession. This diversity of perspectives is valuable and should be considered when developing solutions. 3️⃣ Effective communication is crucial in the field of research. The workshop explored innovative ways to communicate complex ideas engagingly. 4️⃣  Visualization is one of the most essential communication tools. Visuals can be a more engaging and effective way to convey information compared to text alone. 5️⃣ Group activities can be enjoyable and productive. They can be a great way to foster collaboration and generate creative solutions. 6️⃣ And finally, Teamwork Makes the Dream Work. Working together allows us to achieve more than we could ever achieve alone.   We are thankful to the organizers of The Nature of Cities Festival and all the participants for making this workshop a success!   But this is not the end. The results of the workshop will be made available soon! So, Stay Tuned! #feast2030 #workshop #communication #innovation

Heading to TEA Sate Europe next week 12 months after my first SATE. We are witnessing a significant change in how we consume experiences - This transformation is not just a passing trend; it's a seismic shift that redefines how we engage with the world around us. The TEA enables me to discuss with industry peers and the business community to help better understand this shift and how we as an industry need to adapt to meet the rise and growth of the Experience Economy and I enjoy the opportunity to engage with these topics at these events. Come and grab me if you would like to share your thoughts on this topic! #TEASATEeurope #charcoalbluexpereince

So, this is the time of the year when I start to bombard you with posts regarding the amazing Sweden Foodtech Big Meet. April 9-11 at the Stockholm Fairs. It will be good. No, stunningly fabulous! Will pester you with the details and our thinking behind this years edition over the next few weeks. Our now-famous Test Kitchen will be grander, the exhibition larger and the stage program as silly good as always. You find a link to the program below and the picture is of me and the former vice chancellor of Germany, Philipp Rösler, from last year, just to raise your expectations to the correct level. Silly people tell me that food tech has had its run since investments have gone down, compared to the recent era when money was free. Poor, dull-witted minds. It hasn't even begun. In the era of AI the speed of innovation accelerates even faster than before and food is one of those areas where people will notice most change. From the conversations we have with large food corps and a mind-boggling tsunami of new ideas and high-octane entrepreneurs it seems that the realization that Old Food has had its run is starting to seep in. That's encouraging. But do remember. It's not about the tech, it's about what tech and innovation can do to transform our food systems into something vastly better than today. That's the type of conversation we always strive for and this year is no exception. This year we run the show together with the Stockholm Fair's GastroNord trade show for food professionals. We will literally force the incumbents and the newcomers to meet. That's the way! https://lnkd.in/gwA222TK

SilverDoor's Quarterly Market Insights Breakfast Event, hosted by myself, Martin Klima and Alex Butler was a really great experience. It was not only wonderful to spend quality time with our clients but also deeply fulfilling to engage in insightful discussions that are shaping the future of our industry.   💸 Cost is still a priority, but less so for more senior members of staff when experience is front and centre 👩💻 As a sector, travel is not leveraging AI as much as other industries. However we are going into a period of rapid growth. 🍃 Sustainability datasets might be imperfect in their infancy, but this shouldn't hinder action. The true value of events like this extends far beyond the day itself. It's about the collaborative effort with colleagues to create an event that resonates with our clients. There were moments of doubt and challenges along the way, but the support we provided each other was key to delivering something impactful. Thanks to Victoria Lydia Sophie Ewing Sadie Draycott-Dodgson At the event, the most rewarding moments for me came from truly connecting with our clients. Gaining a deeper understanding of their business goals and aspirations and learned more about them as people . These valuable insights help guide our roadmap moving forward. 💕 Working together on such an event reaffirms the power of teamwork and the importance of building meaningful relationships with our clients. It’s these connections that drive innovation and success in our industry. #servicedapartments #extendedstay #marketinsights #knowledge

We all have partners and collaborators who enhance our professional capacity, but once in awhile you connect with another person or organization and it's SUPER MEGA. Values are aligned, trust is inherent, the work is complementary and sharpens your own thinking, and the way forward is full of possibilities. I discovered one of those rare SUPER MEGAS in Milena S. Nikolova and Gergana Nikolova, co-conspirators who are bringing behavior change to the table in a big way across travel and tourism to help drive transformation at all levels. We've got big plans together as they scale their business BehaviorSMART, and we work together to generate practical solutions that build capacity and confidence for the transformative period which lies ahead. The BeSmart team is organizing a masterclass in early 2024 to assist DMOs in achieving next year's goals by leveraging knowledge of human behavior. “Behavior Change for Sustainability” is an online 5-session masterclass where you will learn how to shape destination offerings, communication, and management to effectively reach your goals. Additionally, all participants will receive a one-on-one session with Milena which will focus entirely on your destination. More info: https://lnkd.in/ecqicrfY
