IFE 2027

Exhibiting at IFE

Exhibiting food and drink is not the same as exhibiting other products.

Buyers expect to look, taste and try. This means your stand has to function as a working kitchen or a bar as much as a piece of design.

Appliances need power & ventilation, hygiene rules govern food preparation and service, while hospitality regulations are detailed and venue specific.

The experience has also become more demanding, as buyers arrive researched and time-poor. They expect a stand to prove its product quickly, through taste, demonstration or genuine interaction.

A stand that cannot deliver a live product with ease is at a real disadvantage before a conversation even starts.

What we can do for you at IFE

Design an outstanding
space for your brand

Based around the practical realities of food and drink production. From appliance builds and power loads to ventilation and hygiene compliance.

Nothing gets bolted on as an afterthought once the layout is already fixed.

Guide you through hospitality flow

Incorporated from the earliest planning stage.

Service keeps moving and a busy stand never tips into a queue spilling out into the aisle, turning interest into frustration.

Handle storage and preparation space

Built in as part of the design from day one.

Visitors see your product and your brand experience, not the crates, cabling and prep work behind it.

Deliver a layout that pulls people in

Work with your brand to get visitors onto your stand and give them a reason to stay.

Dwell time is what turns footfall into the conversations that justify investment.

Manage the full cost of exhibiting

From concept through to delivery, not just the stand build.

One team accountable for the budget end to end, with no surprises between quote and invoice.

Work on everything with our in-house team

From furniture to installation, merch and the rip at the end, always being mindful of your ESG goals and sustainability.

Leaving you confident to concentrate on the event itself.

This is for you if:

➣ You are exhibiting at IFE

➣You have been caught out before by appliance power, water routing or hygiene compliance and would like our experts to manage that for you

➣ You want your stand to turn tasting into genuine conversations with buyers, not just footfall

➣ You are returning to IFE and want your stand to reach higher outcomes this year

➣ You are exhibiting at IFE for the first time and want a partner who already knows the show inside out
