The 2015 edition of Gulfood, the world’s largest annual food and hospitality trade show, will mark the 20th anniversary for the global food trade platform.
Gulfood 2015 is expected to attract more than 4800 international companies from 120 countries and more than 85,000 visitors from over 170 countries.
To accommodate the growth, the show will span 127,000 square metres of exhibition space – including a 23,000 square metre, purpose-built temporary structure, the largest-of-its-type regionally.
“A landmark celebration such as the 20th anniversary of Gulfood is an opportunity to reflect on the show’s growth in both scale and stature over the past two decades, and to reiterate the role Gulfood continues to play in brokering significant partnerships and business deals between companies, corporations and countries around the world,” said Trixie LohMirmand, senior vice president, exhibitions & events, DWTC.

According to a recent report by Euromonitor, the number of F&B outlets in the UAE is expected to double in the next four years, making food service and hospitality equipment a particularly pertinent sector at Gulfood 2015. The show will also host conferences and summits throughout the week.
