They come to see the industry’s largest collection of food ingredients, equipment, and packaging suppliers—more than 800—all under one roof at the IFT Food Expo. If you’re looking for the next hot trend or the newest ingredient, this is the place to find it!
The IFT Food Expo is the single most important event for professionals involved in food science and technology. That’s why two out of every three Food Expo attendees are repeat attendees. They know first-hand that it’s the best place to see the newest products, trends, tools, and techniques…and meet face-to-face with the companies who provide them.
As the only true one-stop-shop for trends and information in the food world—the IFT Food Expo is the single most important event for new technologies and new business relationships.
Specialty & Trend Pavilions
Each year at the Annual Meeting & Food Expo, pavilions provide IFT exhibitors a forum to showcase similar products and services under one roof. Attendees can go to one location to find the latest product information for a particular aspect of the food industry—or visit educational forums and presentations that focus on trends, tastings, and the global marketplace.
