SupplySide West 2022_0_0.jpg

Whether you’re selling products to customers to whet their whistle, wow their tastebuds or whittle their waists, in 2023 there are plenty of exciting food and beverage events across the globe to help you grow your business.

First, SupplySide West/Food ingredients North America (FiNA)—the premier gathering of professionals bringing together buyers and suppliers from throughout the industry—occurs this fall in Las Vegas with stimulating educational sessions, networking events and more. Also, the Health and Wellness Japan Summit will offer an all-encompassing overview of the wellness industry, including healthy food and drink products in the vegan, organic and sustainable categories. SIAL America, which touts itself as the only generalist food and beverage trade show in the United States, will feature meat, dairy, bakery products spanning industries from retail to wholesale. Discover the newest trends at the Sweets and Snacks expo in Chicago where you can satisfy your sweet (and savory) tooth with tons of samples, preview new products and make industry connections. If you’re looking to expand your business into the rapidly growing Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Cairo is hosting the Food ingredients Africa trade show.

At BevNET Live in New York, drink enthusiasts can find out what is new in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, plus get a chance to pitch their products to a panel of industry experts while competing for a $10,000 prize. If you miss it, there’s another opportunity at BevNET Live Winter in Los Angeles. For those seeking business opportunities in Europe, head to Frankfurt, Germany for Food ingredients Europe, which is expected to attract attendees from 135 countries (virtually and in person), plus 900+ exhibitors representing the breadth of the industry.
