The AFMASS Operations Executives Cocktail is an exclusive, invitation-only networking experience designed for senior operations leaders across Africa’s agriculture, manufacturing, hospitality, retail and logistics industries.

Held as a premium side event during the AFMASS Food Expo, this elegant evening gathering brings together decision-makers responsible for plant operations / production, supply chain, R&D, engineering, quality assurance / food safety and related roles.

Curated to foster meaningful connections in a relaxed and sophisticated setting, the Cocktail provides a unique platform for executives to exchange insights, explore partnerships, and discuss the operational challenges and innovations shaping Africa’s fast-evolving industries.

Attendees gain valuable perspectives on efficiency, sustainability, technology adoption, and resilience across the value chain—from supply chain, manufacturing, packaging, distribution to retail and hospitality excellence, to the latest consumer insights and market trends.

With a carefully selected guest list, the AFMASS Operations Executives Cocktail ensures high-level engagement among peers, solution providers, and industry influencers.

The event also offers sponsors and partners a strategic opportunity to connect directly with key decision-makers in an informal environment that encourages authentic conversations and long-term collaboration.

Blending business with hospitality, the Cocktail experience reflects the spirit of AFMASS Food Expo — driving growth, innovation, and connectivity within Africa’s industry and economy, while celebrating the people who power the industry behind the scenes.

The organisers are seeking investors, managers and influencers; policy makers, researchers and innovators from Africa and the World, to contribute to the key issues at the Cocktail.
