Two brand-new pavilions hosted by Cedabond will showcase a wider range of manufacturers and distributors than ever before, ensuring both international brands and bespoke suppliers can connect with buyers.
HRC says attendees can look forward to seeing the very latest in smart technology — from wireless connectivity and intuitive controls to seamless software integration.
Emma Brooks, managing director of Quintex and chair of the Foodservice Equipment Association (FEA), said: “The industry’s focus on net zero, embodied carbon and operational carbon will be the strongest talking points for HRC next year – alongside AI, which will be the subject of the FEA’s conference in November this year – and I’m looking forward to lively panel discussions at the show.”
To help visitors make the most of their visit, a new app will offer personalised show planning tools, tailored route maps, and even the ability to pre-arrange ‘Meet the Buyer’ appointments with exhibitors.
John Cunningham CFSP, chief executive of the FEA, added: “It’s so important to have a coffee and chat; to build your network whilst you’re there. For exhibitors you can get to know your dealers better, to really inform their buying decisions.
“The whole industry comes to HRC, so for visitors I’d say enjoy the masterclasses and panels, but pepper your visit with chats, and get round to all the zones — you never know what you’re going to find as you walk the halls.”
