We typically host a Lessons from Leaders event each month which offers the chance to hear from key industry contacts and provides the latest insights from retailers. We also provide ad-hoc events on the pulse of new developments in the FMCG space. Events are offered either in-person or online and as a member you also get access to recordings.

Previous speakers at our events include Gordon Gafa, Commercial Director at Tesco, Claire Hughes, Director of Product and Innovation at Sainsbury’s and Louise Dolan, Trading Director at Waitrose.

Additionally, we organise two broader social gatherings annually – one in summer and another in winter, and entire teams are invited to these

Attendance is limited to brand ambassadors who are members of our community. Each brand can nominate up to five brand ambassadors, and they mut be in founder or leadership roles. However, our summer and winter social events are open to both brand ambassadors and their wider teams as an opportunity for the entire business to network.

All five brand ambassadors from each brand are welcome to attend our events. Occasionally, we may organise events exclusively for founders, which would be restricted to founders only.

When a brand signs up to the YF Community, up to five designated brand ambassadors gain access. Brand ambassadors must hold positions as founders or leaders within the business.

Membership renews annually in line with the calendar year, with each membership lasting for one year from 1st of January to 31st December.

The membership fee covers the calendar year and is not prorated. However get in touch if you are looking to join and we can have a chat.

Membership to the YF Community is considered a benefit for YF services clients, with the membership fee credited against service spend in that year.
