With just three weeks to go, foodpro 2023 is gearing up to be a truly massive event with the show floor now full.

Around 380 exhibitors will showcase the most innovative machines, technologies, products, solutions and processes in the food and beverage manufacturing industry. 

“We are thrilled to have filled all stands a month out – our exhibitors are ready and eager to discuss manufacturing needs with all vendors,” said Felicity Parker, product manager at foodpro. 

“At previous shows, deals of all kinds and valuable connections have been made on the show floor. With the event free to attend, and spread over four days, there’s no reason why businesses shouldn’t visit to see what our phenomenally innovative industry has to offer.” 

Aside from making connections with exhibitors at stands, the foodpro Bar, sponsored by Mosca, will be another key networking hub of the 2023 event. With a full bar, this is the best spot to grab a coffee or lunch to catch up with colleagues, clients and new connections.

There will also be a happy hour running on the Monday and Tuesday from the foodpro Networking Bar. 

On 25 July from 6-9pm, there will also be another unique networking opportunity – foodpro Celebration at The LUME. 

Sponsored by Contech, The LUME is an adventure into art where the walls come alive as light ripples across every surface with curated tastes, aromas and a choreographed soundtrack for an exciting 360-degree experience.

This new addition to the expo program aims to provide visitors with a premium experience.

Exhibitors at foodpro this year will showcase in the areas of: Processing and Packaging, Ingredients – Food Science and Technology, Plant Equipment, Packaging Materials, Logistics and Handling, IT and Digital Factories, and Government and Business Services.

foodpro will be held on 23-26 July at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. To register, click here. For event details and to purchase tickets for The LUME, click here.
