The triennial Queensland industry event for the food and beverage industry, FoodTech Qld, is transforming this year, with a new home on the beautiful Gold Coast. The event runs Thursday 7 and Friday 8 July at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre.
As we move into a post-Covid era, the next phase of FMCG and food in Australia is full of exciting possibilities, ones which we will explore at this year’s FoodTech Qld.
Attendees can look forward to an event that combines both a packed exhibition show floor and a dedicated conference stream across two days, plus a range of exclusive networking events. FoodTech Qld 2022 is set to be the ultimate destination for businesses in the food technology and manufacturing industry to come together after years without face-to-face events.
FoodTech Qld is brought to you by Foodpro, Australia’s leading triennial food manufacturing trade show since the 1960s, and proudly the source of countless innovations that are shaping the industry today.
Designed to connect key decision-makers and buyers with trusted suppliers from the food technology and manufacturing sector, FoodTech Qld will provide insights from leading industry innovators to help visitors create efficiencies and competitive advantages within their business. The best part? This will all take place amongst the sunny scenery and atmosphere of the Gold Coast.
The free-to-attend exhibition will feature 100+ leading and emerging food companies, including CBS Foodtech, Moffat, Pac Food, Rentokil Initial, Ulma, and Vemag, all showcasing products across a number of industry sectors from processing machinery and plant equipment to packaging, labelling, food science and ingredients.
New to the event this year will be the FoodTech Qld Conference, held across the two days of the exhibition, and consisting of two separate but concurrent education streams. Conference delegates can look forward to dedicated expert-led sessions on the latest industry developments and challenges and will cover cutting-edge technology, the agri-food industry of the future, the future of food and global emerging markets.
FoodTech Qld Conference 2022 speakers include professionals and thought leaders from some of the industry’s most influential companies, with the program guests including The Australian Institute of Food Science And Technology, Planet Ark, CSIRO, Close the Loop Group, Brookfarm and many more.
Accompanied by various exclusive networking events across the two days, attendees will have the opportunity to socialise with industry peers over drinks and canapes, whilst enjoying the sunny Queensland backdrop at two newly created networking events. To kickstart the two-day event, FoodTech will be holding a Poolside Welcome Party at The Star Hotel, and networking drinks will follow at the end of Day 1 at the iconic Home of the Arts (Hota).
The final day of FoodTech Qld 2022 will also see the 2022 Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design Awards (PIDA) award winners announced at an exclusive gala event right on the show floor, as well as being streamed nationally. The PIDA Awards are the exclusive award program for all Australia and New Zealand entries into the prestigious WorldStar Packaging Awards and are coordinated by FoodTech Qld industry partner Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP). There are 14 awards up for grabs, across general award categories, special awards and individual awards.
