The show, which features over 380 exhibitors, will be returning after a six-year hiatus from 23 to 26 July 2023, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
“There’s a huge buzz in the industry about this year’s foodpro given we are making a much-anticipated return,” says foodpro Product Manager, Felicity Parker.
She added, “We will be the first Australian event in the international calendar to showcase the latest developments in food manufacturing from overseas as well as locally.”
Parker stated that suppliers, manufacturers of industrial equipment and food products, as well as wonderful networking opportunities and educational seminars, will be crammed into the show floor.
“Making Melbourne the home for foodpro in 2023, we are excited to showcase Victoria as a global hub for advanced and sustainable food production and are thrilled to be partnering with the Victorian Government,” she explained.
