The UK Food & Drink Shows return to the NEC, Birmingham next month (29th April – 1st May). Promising a festival of talent, advice, innovation and networking, we’ve whittled down the top reasons to make a trip to the midlands.

1)    One free ticket, five jam-packed shows

The UK Food & Drink Shows comprise five individual events under one roof, all accessible with one visitor badge. Across Farm Shop & Deli Show, Food & Drink Expo, The Restaurant Show, National Convenience Show and The Forecourt Show, there’s countless opportunities to explore the latest innovations and get networking!

2)    Exhibitor Excellence

Over 1200 exhibitors are set to come together across the five shows, giving visitors an abundance of choice whilst also providing brands with the most up-to-date look at innovation in their respective sectors. The breadth of exhibitors offers visitors solutions across all aspects of their business, from the latest trending products to drive footfall, to the essential services required to keep operations running more smoothly than ever.

3)    Business advice

Whether it’s questions around sustainability, the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, the future of plant-based eating, improving diversity and inclusion and beyond, sessions are designed to tackle the problems that the industry professionals continue to come up against, whilst also giving visitors an opportunity to ask their burning questions. See the full line up here.

4)    Industry heavyweights out in force

Five separate stages, set up across the different shows, include a panellist line up that reads like a who’s who of industry specialists. Just some of the names signed up to speak are:

-       Karen Dear, Chief Executive Officer at Craft Bakers Association

-       Amy North, Editor at British Baker

-       Karen Betts OBE, Chief Executive of Food & Drink Federation

-       Heather Mills, Founder of VBites
