Vegas Food Expo expands for 2018
After its debut in 2017, Vegas Food Expo returns in April 2018. Designed to give emerging food producers a forum to showcase their bounty, Vegas Food Expo grows to 250 of the nation’s up-and-coming brands in a new, larger setting: Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino’s 32,000 square foot Paradise Center North.
April 15-16, attendees can listen and interact with exhibitors and other attendees. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, up to 250 innovative brands will present to retail buyers, chefs, potential investors, and culinary/hospitality students. New this year is the opportunity to independently purchase tickets to the series of speakers.
“After our successful first show, we’re excited to introduce more small and innovative companies to a broader audience of retailers, distributors, chefs, media, and investors at this year’s larger show,” said event creator Brett Ottolenghi. “Our team hopes to welcome back exhibitors and introduce new ‘on the brink’ brands poised to become top of mind with discriminating consumers.”
Vegas Food Expo accommodates smaller brands with exhibitor packages that are all-inclusive, costing roughly one-third of the larger mainstream trade shows, according to the show. In addition to the brand exhibits, will be a speaker series hosted by Robin Leach in Westgate’s Cabaret theatre.
Admission is complimentary for buyers, $50 for general admission including the speaker series and $20 for limited access to the speaker series only. For more information, visit www.vegasfoodexpo.com or call 702-521-3761.
