“Food & Bev Live is a unique event that caters to those owning, operating and working in foodservice, hospitality and leisure establishments across Ireland and Europe. As THE trade event for the sector in 2020, we are thrilled to be launching the IFSA’s at the show. Aimed at showcasing the wealth of innovation and technology which our members continually bring to market each year. Categories have been chosen to take into account innovation across all product sectors from catering equipment, disposables, tableware, services, and of course actual food and beverage products.
 
“For 2020 the theme of the inaugural IFSA’s will be – Innovation for a sustainable future- a timely focus highlighting the Industry’s response to the very real environmental crisis which we are all facing as suppliers.”
