Australia’s leading trade event for food production, manufacturing, and distribution, foodpro, has officially launched registrations for this year’s event, on 23-26 July, in Melbourne.

The expo will be held at Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre and will be the first opportunity since Covid for the industry to reconnect face-to-face, complete business deals, and explore ways to create an efficient future for manufacturing.

The year will showcase a range of new features including dedicated zone areas and networking functions. There will be eight zones: Processing & Packaging; Food Science & Technology; Ingredients; Plant Equipment; Logistics & Handling; IT & Digital Factories; Government & Business Services; and Packaging Materials. 

Also a first for foodpro is the event foodpro Celebration at THE LUME on Tuesday, 25 July at 6-9pm. The Lume is an opportunity to network in a one-of-a-kind immersive sensory experience, where the walls come alive with curated tastes, aromas, and a choreographed soundtrack.
