Bringing flavour to the industry since 1968, Foodservice Australia has been the secret ingredient for excellence in the restaurant and catering world. It was originally launched as the International Catering Trade Fair, with the goal of dishing out the freshest innovations, top-tier equipment, and business-boosting insights to chefs, restaurateurs, and café owners across the country.
But this isn’t just any expo; it’s a full-course experience that keeps every attendee engaged and ahead of the curve. From the high-stakes Chef of the Year competition and exciting trade show to knowledge-packed conferences and workshops, Foodservice Australia serves up something for anyone ready to feast on fresh opportunities.
