The 2024 British Tomato Conference
took place on Thursday 26th September!
Location: Chesford Grange Hotel and Conference Centre, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, UK, CV8 2LD.
Our most well-attended conference to date, we themed the event on the topic: Balancing Business and Environmental Sustainability.
With growers, a wonderful range of sponsors and trade stands, researchers, retailers, Defra and more in attendance, it was a great event to network, establish connections, see the latest products and services available to industry, and listen to an engaging and varied programme of speakers.
