We Huddled (Again): All About October Huddles!

Written by Deborah Mattaka | Oct 25, 2023 7:30:00 AM

If you’re unfamiliar with our Huddles events, they are not your average networking affair or trade show. It's a high-powered platform where your business can forge invaluable connections, speak to leading retailers in your category to start or resume conversations and present NPD to your current partners.

Every attendee is guaranteed to spend 8 minutes with all the buyers on our buying panel. A one-day experience, with a networking evening that creates a comfortable and casual setting for attendees to socialise.

Our recent huddles were held in Manchester and spanned over three days. From the 3rd to 5th October, the Product Guru team were assisting buyers and brands through their meetings and stay.

Our categories were: Wellbeing, Skin & Body Care and Haircare! 

Our partners at GS1 UK sponsored two events - Health & Wellness and Skin & Body Care!

Here is what GS1 UK had to say:  

"We are thrilled to invite the Product Guru community to an exclusive opportunity to tap into the game-changing potential of GS1 powered QR codes through our innovative pilot programme. With a simple smartphone scan of a GS1 powered QR code on-pack, your customers can access digital content that can boost revenue, enhance customer engagement, support sustainability initiatives and much more.
