It was our first time attending the MTB Taster Session and found it to be a wonderful evening. I made some great connections in a relaxed environment and will definitely be looking to attend future events.

Engaging conversations and delicious samples made the TickEat event an encouraging success for us! We thoroughly enjoyed showcasing Datekin and Tuffnut, and we're already looking forward to our next event.
LAMA Trading Ltd
After this TickEat event, it was clear that buyers are craving soulful, purpose-led flavour. Our South Asian streetfood hit the spot, so after the Taster Session we took part in (giving us a taste of the event) we’re stepping up to the full TickEat Meet The Buyer showcase in 2026 to share more of our spice, story and innovation.

We had a brilliant experience in Milton Keynes for the TickEat event a couple of weeks ago. TickEat does exactly what the industry needs: they bring brands and the right buyers together in a focused, meaningful way. No noise, no clutter, no massive trade shows - just real conversations over dinner and drinks, with direct access to the people shaping travel retail. As Treat Yo Self continues to expand into this space, we met with and had great conversations with hero companies such as Virgin Atlantic, EasyJet, Uber, Chelsea FC, Eurostar, Trainlines across the UK, and so many more, exploring how premium vegan confectionery can fit into in-flight shopping, on-board complimentary food offerings, and wider retail channels.
