Senior executives from Danone, Mars, Carlsberg Britvic, Nestlé, and more, will share their digital transformation strategies at the Smart Manufacturing for Food & Beverage Summit Europe on 25 September 2025 in London, UK.
The one-day event, hosted by AMG World, comes as food and beverage manufacturers grapple with shrinking margins, supply chain chaos, and the ongoing challenge of finding skilled workers. The summit promises actionable insights on how emerging technologies can tackle these headaches head-on.
Last year’s attendees clearly found value in the format: “Good quality of exchanges! Well balanced between technology and change management. Good balance of solution providers and end users,” noted a Program Director – Manufacturing Performance Improvement Program, from Barry Callebaut.
Major European Industry Players to Present
This year’s confirmed speakers include representatives from global manufacturers Danone, Mars, Carlsberg Britvic, Cargill, Kellanova, Pladis Global, and Nestlé. Manufacturing technology innovators, AG Solution, Ethon AI, Infor, Matics, Peak AI, Plat4Mation, Redzone, and Visual Components will also showcase their innovative solutions.
Alessandro Cesare from Danone and Esmeralda Ypsilanti from Mars are among the keynote presenters who will outline their approaches to implementing AI, IIoT, robotics, and digital twin technologies across their operations.
What’s on the Menu?
The summit will serve up solutions to several pressing industry issues, including building smart factory roadmaps, bridging the digital skills gap, and aligning technology investments with strategic business goals. Sessions will also cover data governance challenges and scaling smart technologies across multiple manufacturing sites.
Interactive panel discussions will dig into workforce transformation, predictive maintenance strategies, and ways to make operational technology data useful for business decisions.
Collaborative Problem-Solving Sessions
Interactive roundtables will allow attendees to discuss real-world challenges in digital adoption and operational efficiency with industry peers facing similar transformation pressures. These sessions focus on practical problem-solving rather than theoretical discussions, giving participants the chance to work through specific implementation hurdles with others who’ve been there.
Quick-Fire Technology Demonstrations
The programme includes quick-fire technology demonstrations featuring AI/ML, IIoT, Robotics, AR/VR, and Digital Twins solutions specifically designed for food and beverage manufacturing environments.
Join the Discussion
VPs, Directors, and Heads across digital manufacturing, plant operations, data analytics, emerging technology, and workforce transformation from Europe’s top food & drink organisations have already reserved their place.
The summit is a rare opportunity to collaborate with these experts and address the industry’s appetite for data-driven, agile, and sustainable manufacturing approaches as traditional operational models face increasing strain.
