SUMMARY:Meet the Community: Pitch & Pizza Night
DESCRIPTION:Summer is over\, the kids are back to school – a great time for us to brush up on our presentation skills. Whether you’re preparing to present at a “Meet the Buyer” session\, want to improve your storytelling in general or want to share your biggest learnings (and failures) from previous pitches – this is the right place to do it! Let’s use this session to work on your perfect 2-minute sales pitch. Just like our “Meet the Buyer” sessions – only that you’ll be pitching to your fellow community members instead. How does it work?We offer time slots of 15 minutes per member company. This will include feedback from the audience\, so we recommend preparing a pitch that is not longer than 2 minutes. This is a great opportunity to practice pitching within the safe space of our community (no external attendees) & learn from each other. We hope to see you there! Agenda:17.30 – 17.45 Walk-in & Welcome17.45 – 20.00 Pitch time20.00 – 21.00 Wrap-up & Pizza PartyPlease RSVP before September 5. You can apply for a maximum of 2 people per member business. After your application we will get in touch with you with a detailed timeline for the evening. Please note that if there are more participants than 12 who want to pitch\, we will repeat the session on a new date (details will follow).

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Sustainable packaging
DESCRIPTION:Our Roundtable concept is about meeting up with a small group of members who are willing to share their experience and knowledge about a certain topic. We create themes around popular challenges and shared difficulties. When all participants balance giving and taking of information\, we believe that a Roundtable can be a very valuable experience for every participant.  \nIn this Roundtable session\, we will focus on sustainable packaging. The session is open to all our members who are looking into new packaging solutions for their products and would like to get an overview of the rules and regulations on the Dutch market they need to comply with. \nThe following experts will join this Roundtable:– Caitlin Ouwehand – Advisor for Sustainable Packaging at KIDV. She studied Food Packaging and Food Innovation at the HAS Green Academy in ’s-Hertogenbosch. – Niels van Marle – Senior Advisor for Sustainable Packaging at KIDV. Prior to joining KIDV\, Niels worked as a Packaging Innovation Manager for companies such as Philips\, Mars\, Hero\, and Jacobs Douwe Egberts. \nWhat can you expect in this Roundtable session? Caitlin and Niels will guide you through the world of sustainable packaging. They will explore what the journey towards a circular economy entails\, the legislation companies must adhere to\, the strategies underpinning these regulations\, and the key considerations for businesses bringing packaged products to market. Of course\, it will be an interactive session where you’ll be able to ask all your specific questions related to your product and its packaging.  \nAbout KIDVAt KIDV\, the Netherlands Institute for Sustainable Packaging\, Caitlin and Niels develop tools and provide support to producers and importers of packaged products to help them comply with legislation and make their packaging portfolios more sustainable. Notable tools include the Recyclecheck and the Sustainable Packaging Compass\, that can be found on kidv.nl. KIDV is part of Verpact\, the organisation responsible for implementing the Dutch Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program for sustainable packaging. KIDV’s mission is to establish a circular economy for packaging by developing and sharing fact-based knowledge with all partners in the packaging chain. This is crucial because ‘closing the loop’ requires collaboration among all parties\, leading to new business opportunities\, reduced dependence on raw materials\, and environmental benefits. \nAgenda17.30-18.15 – Walk-in & easy dinner 18.15-19.45 – Roundtable Discussion19.45-21.00 – Drinks & networking  \nRegistration for this event ends on September 5. You can submit your questions/topics of interest upfront when signing up. We’re looking forward to an interesting discussion!

SUMMARY:Meet the Expert x Brand Protection
DESCRIPTION:Your brand is your company’s most valuable asset. It is much more than just a design or a logo. But did you know that without a valid trademark registration you can’t claim a right to your brand name or logo? That makes solid brand protection in the countries where you produce and/or sell your products essential. On the other hand\, brand protection in an area that is too wide leads to unnecessary risks and may even result in you losing your rights. In this “Meet the Expert” session you’ll have the opportunity to ask all your brand protection related questions in 1-on-1 sessions with the experts of Kilburn & Strode. You will get a 45 minute time slot to discuss the specific topics you are interested in. You will be able to ask questions such as:– What do I need to consider when choosing my brand name and logo?– Do I really need to protect my brand?– Is my brand safe once I get a trademark registration?– How does it work if I want to export to other countries?– How do I ensure that my trademark remains as strong as possible?– What can I do if I find out about a trademark violation?About the ExpertsKilburn & Strode is specialised in global Intellectual Property law\, in particular in the field of patents and trademark registration. They are protecting brands in the Netherlands\, but also in Europe and the rest of the world. Their specialised trademark attorneys have extensive experience in the field of availability searches\, application and registration procedures worldwide\, oppositions\, infringement cases and portfolio management in various industries\, including the food & drink sector. Diversity and inclusiveness are of paramount importance to Kilburn & Strode\, and a percentage of their profits is donated annually to innovative charities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is the expert from Kilburn & Strode that you’ll meet:– Marit Blom\, Trademark Attorney in the firm’s Hilversum office. She brings over 18 years of experience in the world of trademarks and designs. Registration for this session closes on February 12. Please submit the specific questions/topics you’re interested in when registering for the session.
