Blas Backyard on the Road – Branding & Packaging 2025

The Backyard on the Road returns this spring, continuing to provide food and drink producers with a dedicated space to learn from industry experts, participate in guided panel discussions, and connect with fellow producers—supported by Taste 4 Success Skillnet.

In 2024, Blas Backyard was honoured with the inaugural L&DI Award for Best Sharing & Learning Community. The judges were so inspired by the power of peer-to-peer learning within our community that they created this award to recognize its impact.

“A brilliant example of just honest sharing, committed to the greater good and really supporting each other.”
– Sinéad Heneghan, CEO, L&DI Learning

At its heart, Blas Backyard thrives on producers coming together, sharing experiences, and learning from one another. This year, we’re building on that spirit by making our 2025 workshops even more interactive and discussion-led.

What to Expect

🔹 Expert-Led Panel Discussions – Guided conversations with mentors and leading industry voices
🔹 Tailored Insights – Attendees can submit questions in advance for a more personalized discussion.
🔹 Quality Networking – Dedicated time to connect and collaborate with fellow producers.

The day will be led by the Blas team alongside mentor Annie Dunne (The Art of Grate Food) and a panel of experts representing the very best in Irish branding and marketing.

📅 Date: 1st May
🎟 Tickets: €50 (ex VAT) – includes half day session, networking opportunities, and refreshments.

Join us for a day of learning, inspiration, and meaningful connections!
