This page covers seven events across the U.S. and Europe, selected because they span different segments of the industry, from grocery and food service to hospitality and food safety. The NGA Show in Las Vegas kicks off the month with a strong retail food focus, while BITAC Food & Beverage in Fort Myers runs concurrently for operators on the hospitality and procurement side. For anyone building supplier relationships or scouting new vendors, several of these events feature dedicated expo floors and buyer-facing programming. The geographic spread also matters. Richmond, Wilmington, Tampa, and London mean there are options whether you're regional or running a broader operation. If you're planning Q1 travel budgets now, this list gives you a clear starting point.
