About this Event

Introducing Raising the Glass Roundtables.

A new space where we slow down, go deeper, and spotlight the functions shaping the future of the drinks industry.

We’re launching with our founding session on Category • Strategy • Insight:

? Thursday 16 April
⏰ 13:30 – 15:30
? Kopparberg, No.1 Aire Street, Leeds, LS1 4PR
? Hosted in conjunction with Kopparberg


Held under Chatham House rules, this roundtable is designed to allow honest, experience-led discussion. This is a curated room of experts, having the conversations we don’t normally get the time, or the safe space, to have.

In this first session we’ll explore:

✨ What is the future role of category and how does it influence businesses?
✨ How do we build the right culture for the next generation of category leaders?
✨ When you are the expert, who do you go to for advice?

Category is still a relatively young function. Which means we have a real opportunity to shape what comes next.



The Equity Exchange

This session forms part of Raising the Glass: The Equity Exchange, helping turn real-world conversation into shared, open-access insight for the wider drinks industry. Because knowledge should never be gatekept.


A new industry series

This is the first in a programme of Raising the Glass roundtables. Future sessions will spotlight other key areas of the drinks industry, creating a growing network of expertise, shared learning and cultural change.


Who this is for

Senior professionals within the drinks industry working in:

  • Category
  • Strategy
  • Insight
  • Commercial leadership

Places are intentionally limited to protect the depth and quality of the discussion.
