The three-day event, organised by Fresh Montgomery, brings together over 350 exhibitors from the UK and abroad showcasing the cutting edge in food & drink, catering equipment, interiors, exteriors & tableware, and technology, alongside world class culinary competition Salon Culinaire.
The Hospitality Show 2013 will also launch a host of new initiatives whilst welcoming back familiar elements. Business Mentors will host panel sessions on the new Business Briefing Stage, and visitors will get the chance to book free 30 minute one-to-one sessions with the Business Mentor of their choice.
New for 2013 is the introduction of the Design Inspiration Stage – a forum where design experts will present the latest trends in the sector.
Technology will also play a prominent role as the HOSPA Technology Hub hosts technology Business Mentors, while a lounge area will be available for those who want to talk serious business.
Toby Wand, managing director at Fresh Montgomery said: “The Hospitality Show focuses on the business of hospitality. Each element of the show will give visitors at least one good idea to take back to their business, whether it’s finding a new product to solve a problem, meeting a valuable new contact, or learning some valuable insight direct from a Business Mentor.
“With a new look, new halls, and a renewed focus The Hospitality Show will be the place to do business, source new product innovations and network with likeminded business professionals in 2013.”
