The International Food & Drink Event (IFE) 2017

Tens of thousands of people from all walks of life came together last month to experience the extraordinary variety of food and drink being exhibited at the ExCel centre in London.

Some 30,000 people from 108 countries attended the 20th edition of the International Food & Drink Event (IFE), 19-22 March, to meet suppliers and businesses from over 60 countries and visit over 1200 exhibition stalls showing off the latest culinary delights and food tech.

For five days, the Royal Victoria Dock was the place to be for food enthusiasts and lovers of cultural diversity, with “Great Britain & Ireland” being showcased in one exhibition hall and world “Grocery” directly opposite in another.
