01 Mar Asia’s Leading Food & Hospitality Tradeshow (HOFEX) 2021 rescheduled to 7 – 9 September

In response to the continued travel restrictions brought upon by  COVID-19, HOFEX – Asia’s Leading Food & Hospitality Tradeshow, originally scheduled on 12 – 14 May 2021, will be rescheduled to 7 – 9 September 2021 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). ProWine Hong Kong – the international trade fair for wines and spirits will continue to be held as part of HOFEX on the new date. 

With entry restrictions and quarantine measures still in place, many overseas F&B professionals are unable to attend the event as scheduled, which greatly disrupts their global sourcing activity. Rescheduling the show to September can allow more time for the industry to recover and ensure a more dynamic and cosmopolitan event to take place.

HOFEX aims to keep the industry connected by introducing the first digital event HOFEX Connect. HOFEX Connect offers one-stop online business matchmaking services, lining up global suppliers with buyers to create high-value, engaging and cost-effective business opportunities. The first round of business matchmaking will take place in March. 

HOFEX is a professional trade platform which has introduced numerous food & drinks, hospitality equipment and supplies to Asia since its inception. Entering the 19th edition, HOFEX will continue to strive for excellence, serving up new products, trends and innovations to reconnect businesses and restart the challenging market. More information about HOFEX can be found on https://hofex.com.

In addition, the upcoming HOFEX will be co-located with Natural & Organic Asia and Retail Asia Conference & Expo, bringing a wide array of healthy food & beverage and hospitality technologies to the table. Adding these shows under HOFEX’s roof will strongly expand each sector in depth, fulfilling the needs of the ever-changing F&B and hospitality industry.
