Food Entrepreneurs Preparing for World of Food Asia
The next global food industry event will be the Thaifex – World of Food Asia 2009, scheduled for May 13-17,2009 in Bangkok, Thailand. Billed as “the leading trade platform for the food and beverage industry in South East Asia” the event seeks to provide “one-stop” shopping for everything from ingredients to processing technology for food and beverage.
Organizers expect over 2,100 booths featuring exhibitors from across Thailand as well as around the world. Leading food entrepreneurs are confirming their flights and reserving rooms in hotels in Bangkok Thailand to attend the event.
This year’s event will focus on three main areas: “Coffee & Tea,” “Hospitality & Foodservice,” and the all-important “Food Technology.” Innovative and eco-friendly food packaging will be highlighted as will food safety. Special attention will also be paid to “Food Catering” and consulting will be available in “Retail and Franchise.”
Seminars and demonstrations are an important element at the event. Some of the featured seminars include “Growing Trend: Healthy Food,” and “Today’s Market & Challenges in Import/Export.” Large audiences are expected for the Coffee Barrista contest and the cooking competition.
In 2008 nearly 22,000 visitors from 127 countries attended the show, which featured exhibitors from 32 regions and countries.
