Fine Food New Zealand is the country’s foremost retail, food service, and hospitality trade exhibition

Fine Food New Zealand is the country’s foremost international trade exhibition for the foodservice, hospitality, and retail industries. The 2018 event took up more floor space, signed up 334 total exhibitors, and attracted 7,098 trade delegates. No other exhibition gathers so many relevant industry bodies and their members into a single, professional business forum.

Fine Food New Zealand has been specifically devised to meet industry demands for an exhibition that delivers the opportunities exhibitors and visitors want – hence the two-year timeframe. This gives exhibitors sufficient time to develop new products and services and bring them to market. Meanwhile, our extensive marketing campaign in the lead-up to the show uses direct mail, trade, newspaper and magazine advertising, email promotions, and public relations to ensure we attract maximum visitors to every show.
