With a proven track record of driving industry growth, the biennial Fine Food New Zealand is set to return to the Auckland Showgrounds Sunday, 29 June to Monday, 1 July with a mission to push the food and beverage sector forward!
An industry hub for hospitality, foodservice and food retail of who’s who and what’s new, this is the place to meet, network, educate, research and investigate all the tools and tricks of the trade that have been designed with YOU in mind.
With areas and zones dedicated to all the best in show and those in the know, trade visitors can spend time soaking up what’s on offer across all sectors of the industry. Trade registration is open from 13th of March and is free until 28th June, or $25 thereafter and on the gate. Proof of your industry status is required to secure your place.
Rebecca Stewart, Group Director of XPO comments, “Trade events are a way to stay ahead of the curve and with increasing pressure on all businesses to put their very best foot forward to convince customers to invest with them, this is the one stop shop to ensuring your business is operating at an optimal level. There will be new products, innovations, best practice and operating efficiencies all showcasing their latest and greatest. There is no better environment to do business than face-to-face, with everyone you need to meet all in one place, at the same time.”
This year will see the NZ Chefs Championships held on site over the course of the event where chefs from a variety of disciplines will be competing for the World Championships vying for position of NZ Chef of the Year, NZ Pastry Chef of the Year and NZ Emerging Chef of the Year.
The Caputo Cup will also be held on site where the best pizza makers will be challenged to produce award winning pizzas. This year is the first time the Caputo Cup will be held at Fine Food New Zealand, on the back of the incredible success of Auckland Pizzeria, Dante’s, coming third at the World Championships last year.
Seminars featuring renowned speakers from across the industry will be a highlight for education and upskilling. Fine Food New Zealand is also thrilled to be hosting Women in Food and Drink Networking event on the 30th of June. Add to that new products, showcases, collectives, masterclasses, tastes of the world and you have yourself a pretty full three days!
Attendance is FREE for trade delegates who register online before 28th of June. For more information or to register visit https://www.finefoodnz.co.nz/.
