“Sustainability is a very important part of our consumer offer which we constantly evolve. The fair offers an excellent opportunity to gain an overview of new products, suppliers and trends. I look forward to an event filled with energy and new insights, also through the seminars.”

“This will be my second visit to Nordic Organic Food Fair. I didn’t know what to expect the first year I attended, so I was very positively surprised to see so many innovative suppliers and products, which gave me a lot of inspiration and ideas for extending our product ranges. I am very much looking forward to visiting the exhibition again this year.

“Nordic Organic Food Fair is always an inspirational fair, that is highly useful with regards to meeting new partners, and discovering new products and trends.

“Natural Products Scandinavia is the best way to gain quick and extensive knowledge about natural and organic products in the Nordic landscape. It’s the perfect marketplace for those looking to expand into the Nordic region, and looking for exciting new brands. If sustainability is your business, and it should be everyone’s, you have to be there.

lunch! is a key event for our buying team. The quality of suppliers makes it the destination show for our industry.”

lunch! continues to truly amaze and inspire a generation of food-to-go buyers.

lunch! is a fantastic show and great way to discover new innovations. I would recommend it to anyone in this sector.

“Natural & Organic Products Europe is great for us because it brings suppliers from all over the world to our doorstep, and gives us a chance to see, touch and taste the latest innovative new products which could help our customers live healthier lives.

“Natural & Organic Products Europe is the perfect show for Ocado. Each year the show gets better, with the new brands we meet. It is a great place to look for new and up and coming brands, which our customers love. The best thing about the show is the amount of choice that is available.

“For over 10 years pod food has kept abreast of the latest trends in health and nutrition translating them into fresh, delicious daily recipes-to-go. Visiting the UK’s biggest showcase for natural and organic food and drink makes it into the diary each year, as it’s a great opportunity to delve into a smorgasbord of exciting new foodie discoveries and meet the masters and makers face to face.

It has been exciting to see the level of thought, effort, creativity and professionalism that is being produced in our industry. Years ago marketing was seen very much as a necessary evil, but I am glad to say that judging by the quality of these campaigns that businesses are not only investing in marketing that will make a difference, but are also becoming more and more marketing led as opposed to operator led. Well done to all entrants, you should be very proud.

“I recommend lunch! to anyone in the food-to-go sector. It’s a fantastic chance to discover innovation and trends in our industry.”

“Simply put, SITS is one of the best industry events around, the interaction and energy are great.

“I think it’s important to give back to an industry that has served me so well.”

IT is both an exciting and challenging space to be working in right now. There are new technologies appearing each day, new expectations around value to the business, and new generations of workers entering the office space. This year’s event will bring a renewed focus on understanding the true value of front-line service desk staff and the leadership values of ITSM, as this has fast become the greatest asset for successful IT service teams today,

Casual Dining is a welcome change to the trade show calendar. With diversity of stands and lots of great food and drink producers, I’d definitely recommend that all pub operators visit [this] year.

“Design plays a key role in any restaurant environment today – whether you pay £10 or £100 a head. The casual dining scene, in particular, is incredibly creative and over the last years has led the restaurant design world with its energy and new ideas.

“Consumers are becoming more discerning where design and branding is concerned. There’s more to consider than just the senses of taste and smell – ambience and visual stimulation beyond the plate are more important than ever. This year’s shortlist boasts an extraordinary array of talent and innovative projects and the casual dining sector has proven yet again, that design should be at the forefront of business decisions.

“2014 has been the most significant in our history, not only with the successful launches of Casual Dining and GEO Business but also the acquisition and integration of Expo Management, which included three exhibitions as well as a number of publications and industry award events. It’s amazing how far we’ve come and I’m so grateful to our amazing team for all their support, dedication, and creativity. The future is bright!”

“Casual Dining is a great addition to the industry calendar. A fantastic opportunity to meet potential suppliers and strengthen working relations with existing ones. I will most definitely attend next year.

“It’s great to finally have a trade show dedicated to our industry. [It’s] a really worthwhile visit.”

“I invite camexpo visitors to come up with a solution to end obesity that has eluded everyone else. This panel session has been created to give you that chance. Use it.

“Put it in your diary! If you only visit one show, make sure its lunch! 2014.”

“A big thank you must go to the whole industry, including our valued media and association partners, for supporting the show from the very beginning and helping to make Casual Dining the show that this important sector truly deserves.”

“The fact that Casual Dining was a new show that has been developed with, and supported by, pub and restaurant groups, as well as our incredible exhibiters, makes it even more special. We share this award with them and we couldn’t be happier.

“To be shortlisted for two awards just months after the first show really is such a big honour and an enormous achievement for the whole team.”

“camexpo is fantastic! It’s a show to inspire you to want to achieve more.

“With its high calibre practitioner audience – camexpo is absolutely essential for us.

“The UK needs a show like GEO business. Leica Geosystems thoroughly enjoyed being present and assisting in creating the professional and positive vibe, which such a show deserves. Let's make it bigger, better and even more of an enjoyable experience next year.”

“I was very impressed with the GEO Business 2014 event and would go so far to say it was one of the best events that I have been to for a while. It was extremely well organised, the content of the conference and workshop programme was very good, and the energy and buzz around the exhibition hall was very impressive.”
