Trade show organisers Emerald and Questex will join forces to stage the Las Vegas Food and Beverage Industry Week, an inaugural event featuring four premier food shows under one roof at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), 21-24 March, 2022.
SIAL America, Bar and Restaurant Expo (formerly known as Nightclub and Bar Show), Pizza Expo, and World Tea Conference + Expo will run concurrently, uniting decision-makers from all sectors of the $1.5 trillion food and beverage industry.
Since in-person meetings and conventions returned to Las Vegas in June 2021, the LVCC has hosted 58 trade shows and events with more than 800,000 attendees.
Brian Yost, chief operating officer for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), which owns and operates the LVCC, stated: “Las Vegas brings key industries together, fostering in-person connections that move business forward. We look forward to providing the organisers, exhibitors and attendees of these shows with an Only Vegas experience.”
SIAL America is the first-of-its-kind cross-category generalist food and beverage show supporting the food and beverage market. Attending will be importers, food service companies, distributors, retailers, wholesalers and restaurateurs. The show is endorsed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Now in its 38th year, Emerald’s International Pizza Expo will welcome pizzeria professionals from across the globe and feature suppliers, educational sessions by industry professionals and national competitions.
At Bar & Restaurant Expo, attendees will be learning about the latest trends and troubleshoot challenges facing their businesses.
Celebrating traditions and the future of tea, the World Tea Conference + Expo 20th anniversary celebration will provide access to suppliers and educational sessions.
