Brisbane will be home to a brand-new food event industry event in August next year called Food and Hospitality Queensland.
The show is presented by the same organisers as Foodservice Australia. Event director Tim Collett says there will be some crossover between the shows, but that the Queensland show is a dedicated regional event for local buyers.
“We are putting together a new event that is innovative, exciting and tailored for the local market,” Tim says.
“It will be affordable for exhibitors and a magnet for industry buyers. We will be working closely with the restaurant, chef and retail associations to make sure it works for their members. It’s about running the show that people want.”
Food and Hospitality Queensland will run from August 5-6 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. Special events include Queensland Chef of the Year and Brisbane Café School.
Wayne Viles from Unox says he will definitely be exhibiting.
“Queensland is an important market and we look forward to demonstrating our commercial ovens. I am thrilled it is Tim and the Specialised Events team putting it together. They are great to work with and really know how to pull these things together.”
Stand bookings are now open. The first show has room for 150 companies and organisers are looking for a mix of food, drink and equipment suppliers. Stand packages start at less than $2,000.
Visitor registration is also open. Entry is free but strictly trade only. For more information on exhibiting or visiting go to www.foodandhospitality.com.au or call 03 9999 5460.
