Lead your local FoodTech community
Hosting isn't just throwing a dinner — it's putting yourself at the center of the conversation, and bringing the people who matter to your table.
Become a recognized leader
Establish yourself as a central figure and the go-to convener in your local FoodTech ecosystem. Hosting puts your name on the room — and keeps you at the heart of the relationships that form there.
Access the people who matter
Bring investors, corporates, and strategic partners who want to be in the room to your table — and build the relationships that move your work, and your community, forward.
You're never hosting alone
We've run these dinners on four continents. When you host, you get the whole machine behind you — so you can focus on the people in the room.
A proven event playbook
The full template — format, run-of-show, house rules, and invitations — the same blueprint behind every FTW event, whether it's a dinner in your city or a side event at a conference you're attending. No starting from scratch.
Recruitment support
We help you fill the room with the right founders, operators, and guests — drawing on our global FoodTech Weekly network so every seat counts.
A global brand behind you
Host under FoodTech Weekly — a name the industry already knows. You get instant credibility, recognition, and reach that opens doors on your behalf.
Logistics handled — including payments
We take on the operational load, including collecting registrations and taking payments — corporate credit cards included — so the money and the admin are never your problem.
Co-host with us — you're never on your own
Hosting with FTW isn't exclusive. Co-host with your partners and other organizations, and plug into a global network of hosts who have your back anywhere in the world.
Co-host, don't compete
Being an FTW host isn't exclusive to other organizations. We're happy to co-host with your partners, accelerators, funds, and communities — bring whoever makes the room better.
A global network of co-hosts
You tap into a worldwide community of FTW co-hosts — so you've got a warm connection and a partner on the ground in almost any city you land in.
See every global guest list
As a co-host you get access to the attendee list of all global FTW events — so when you need to reach someone, you already know they're one warm connection away.
The rooms you'll be building
Real founders, operators, and partners — from Barcelona to the Bay Area.
