It is envisioned that this event becomes a beacon for the best food producers and suppliers, the best hospitality solutions provider to reach this region and also, as a conduit for cross border industry trade.
Food&HotelHanoi2018 – An event the industry is waiting for

It is a grand achievement to have such an international representation at this inaugural event.
Industry buyers, caterers and kitchen professionals will be greeted by a large international food, drink and equipment product showcase plus educational and training sessions hosted by local and international industry organizations. Many stalwart industry players have confirmed their participation, including Annam, New Viet Dairy, U.S. Dairy Export Council Vietnam, Procacuno, Interporc, Hoshizaki, Charles Wembley, GoodFood Hanoi, Ha Yen, Cubes Asia Co., LTD amongst many others.

These events are well supported by their respective industry associations and regional peer councils.
Leveraging off UBM’s food exhibition series and Food&HotelVietnam 2017 pedigree
“Back to the why and when, The most compelling reason for the launch of Food&HotelHanoi2018 was obviously the robust support for the event during our preliminary discussions with industry stakeholders globally over the course of many months. The demand was there. There were recently so many new hotel developments in the north of Vietnam but we oddly enough did not see sufficient customers from the north visiting Food&HotelVietnam2017 in Ho Chi Minh - the 9th edition last year. We thus felt we needed to at least ‘have a go’ being the serial entrepreneurs that we are. So here we are! The genes hath spoken! We went with industry support and behold, it wasn’t such a bad idea after all, based on the amount of exhibitor inquiries we continue to receive till today.
So, we now have to deliver the buyers, which, we are confident of achieving for this inaugural event, thanks to the loyal support of all stake holders and in particular, the chefs, baristas and hotel association without which our current efforts will pale in comparison. Event schedule was another consideration as the Food and Hotel Vietnam event in Ho Chi Minh had difficulties attracting buyers from the central region due to a schedule clash. By offering buyers in Danang and its surrounding region an alternative date, we hope we will see more of our friends from the central region visit our event in Hanoi. November is also such a pleasant period for a Hanoi visit as the weather is wonderful. So, see you there!” said Mr. BT Tee – General Manager of UBM Vietnam.
