Food Services Australia Expo 2022

Food Services Australia Expo

Over the course of three action packed days more than 10,000 people from the food services industry attended the 2022 Food Services Australia Expo. The event which was held on the 27th Feb – 1st March at the Melbourne Convention Centre attracted many industry stakeholders including chefs, restaurateurs, café owners and retailers. With over 450 exhibitors the expo was a great opportunity for attendees to explore the latest food, drink and equipment in the food services industry. Special events were run throughout the day including Chef of the Year, National Restaurant Conference, Café School, Aged Care Catering Summit, The Sweet Spot, and a Chef Success Workshop. The Melbourne Market had a stand under the banner of Melbourne’s North Food Group, where it promoted the purchase of fruit and vegetables direct to the food services industry. The stand provided information about the Melbourne Market as well as a wholesaler directory for attendees to easily access wholesalers’ lines and contact details. Teisha and Carolyn from the Market Fresh Schools program also attended the event, allowing visitors to taste some of the amazing produce the market has to offer. The Melbourne Market stand stood out with its rainbow-coloured display of fresh, quality produce, which was generously donated by Barkers Fresh Produce, Kapiris Bros, La Manna Premier Group, Produce of Virginia, Aus Asia, All Aussie Farmers and Latorres Fruit & Veg. All produce on display was donated to a food charity at the end of event. This was a great opportunity to showcase the Melbourne Market and communicate to the Food Service sector why we're the best place to purchase produce.
