Furthermore, special programs are held alongside the exhibition, including the Trend Zone, the Thailand Ultimate Chef Challenge 2026, and the Future Food Experience, which focuses on emerging trends, culinary excellence, and sustainable food solutions.
The event also hosts expert-led seminars, trend briefings, and knowledge-sharing sessions under the ‘F&B Idea Engine,’ providing insights into changing consumer preferences and developments in food technology. In addition, business matching programs and networking platforms are arranged to bring together buyers, distributors, and exhibitors, supporting sourcing opportunities and fostering international trade partnerships within a dynamic marketplace.
