AUS: Fine Food turns 25

By FoodWeek Online

Fine Food will celebrates 25 years this year.

The exhibition has grown significantly since it was first staged in 1984, and it has been recognised for its innovative, influential and relevant approach to the food and food service industry.

“Fine Food has a proud history as the place for the food industry to source new products, suppliers and ideas. In the current economic climate it is incumbent on us to deliver more solutions and ideas so our visitors find the competitive edge they need to grow their business. As such, this year’s show is possibly the most important show in the history of Fine Food,” said exhibition manager Minnie Constan.

This year, Fine Food will feature a number of product feature worlds or ‘shows within the show’, which are designed to make it easier for visitors to find their specific areas of interest. Special areas include ‘Meat & Seafood’, ‘Natural Products’, ‘Drinks’, ‘Confectionery’, ‘Dairy’, ‘Bakery’, ‘Hospitality Equipment’ and ‘Catering Equipment’.

Two new ‘feature worlds’ will also be introduced this year – ‘Gluten Free World’, which will recognise the heightened consumer interest in foodservice and retail in gluten-free products and ‘Retail Equipment World’ which will feature the latest in technology and point-of-sale, shop fitting and loss prevention.

Over 950 exhibitors from around Australia and overseas will fill the entire Sydney Exhibition Centre with thousands of new products, services and ideas for every segment of the food and beverage industries on show.

Fine Food will be held from September 7 to 10 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Trade visitors are advised to register on www.finefood.com.au prior to September 2. If you are not registered, entry will cost $30 at the door.

Entry is restricted to members of the retail, hospitality, liquor and foodservice industries. Persons not in this category, including children will not be admitted.
