For the global tortilla and flatbread sector, events such as Gulfood, SIAL Paris, Alimentaria and the NRA Show provide direct access to decision-makers across retail, foodservice and QSR channels.
The United Kingdom is one of the world's most important hubs for food technology, retail chains and specialty food markets. UK Food Supply Chain events β including IFE Manufacturing, the Food & Drink Expo and Lunch! β are essential reference points for London Food Technology developments and Specialty Food Distribution UK.
