Fine Food Australia is back for another year — its 40th to be exact. Australia’s largest B2B foodservice event will be held at Melbourne’s Convention and Exhibition Centre from 2–5 September and showcase innovations across the hospitality category from bakery to beverages, produce, equipment, technology, manufacturing, and everything in between.
This year’s show is set to be bigger than ever, which coincides with Fine Food’s milestone anniversary. “As we celebrate Fine Food Australia’s 40th year, we reflect on how it has evolved, embracing innovation, trends, and challenges of the culinary industry here in Australia,” says David Longman from Diversified Communications.
“From humble beginnings to a large-scale international trade event … Fine Food Australia is testament to the enduring spirit of culinary excellence and the platform’s role in shaping the future of food in Australia.”
