Application for FOTE 2024 Ambassador

Each year we receive a large number of inspirational applicants hoping to partake and speak at Food On The Edge. Many are from abroad but these applicants also include people who are doing wonderful things for Irish food and developing the industry in their own way. While we have a limited capacity of speaking slots, we wanted to do something to acknowledge these food champions. We hope this initiative will widen the reach of the Food On The Edge and act as its legacy into the future, eventually expanding onto a global scale.

A group of people who are working to change their food landscape and are exemplifying the Food On The Edge ethos will be selected to be the Food On The Edge Ambassadors for 2024. The Ambassadors will be invited to speak in a discussion panel at Food On The Edge 2024 on the work they are doing, as well as receiving a two-day ticket to Food On The Edge and a profile on the Food On The Edge website.
