CELEBRATING 60 YEARS – SHARE YOUR MEMORIES!

IFSA celebrates 60 years of CATEX in the hospitality and foodservice industry in 2025. CATEX has been a cornerstone event, shaping culinary innovation and business growth, and we want to honour this journey by showcasing the memories of those who have been part of it.
​
CATEX 2025 will take place in The RDS, Simmonscourt on the 18th-20th February, and in the run up to this milestone event, we're taking a trip down memory lane. We want to capture the essence of CATEX over the past 60 years and highlight the evolution of the hospitality & foodservice industry. We want YOU to help us tell this story who have made this show possible.

We are asking members of the industry and previous exhibitors to share photos, memories, and testimonials from your CATEX experiences over the years. Whether it’s a picture of your stand, a memorable interaction or story involving other exhibitors or visitors, a sample menu or product from the past or a testimonial reflecting on the impact of the industry we would love to hear from you.
 
Photos can be emailed directly to: [email protected] or if you have any physical photos or collateral, please post them to Unit 3, Block A Broomfield Business Park, Malahide, Co. Dublin. And we can arrange for them to be returned.
 
Your participation will not only celebrate the history of CATEX but provide valuable insights into the changes and advancements in our industry.
