Food & Hospitality Week Melbourne

Food & Hospitality Week is widely regarded as Australia’s leading platform for culinary innovation and hospitality inspiration. Held annually at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC), it brings together key decision-makers from the foodservice, hospitality, and restaurant sectors. Organized by National Media, Food & Hospitality Week brings every facet of the industry under one roof—not as a traditional trade show, but as a dynamic meeting point with a clear focus on the future.

Food & Hospitality Week represents a movement that actively shapes the evolution of Australia’s food and hospitality landscape. It attracts a diverse professional audience, including chefs, restaurateurs, suppliers, and technology providers, as well as stakeholders from across the entire value chain.

The program focuses on pressing topics such as food innovation, advanced kitchen technology, sustainable practices, digital transformation in hospitality, and Italian cuisine. Both national and international exhibitors showcase new products and services across food and beverage, kitchen equipment, digital systems, storage, packaging, and hospitality solutions.

Australia’s rich food culture and strong spirit of innovation are reflected not only in the exhibitor lineup but also in the event program. Live competitions, expert conferences, industry awards, and networking opportunities provide a space for inspiration and professional exchange. Key event formats include the established Foodservice Australia, the new Pizza Pasta & Italian Food Show, the hands-on Commercial Kitchen Show, and the forward-looking Restaurant Technology Show.

Firmly rooted in Melbourne, Food & Hospitality Week benefits from the city’s diversity, creativity, and global outlook. Located on the banks of the Yarra River, the MCEC offers world-class infrastructure and excellent connections via train, tram, and airport—placing it at the heart of Melbourne’s vibrant culinary, cultural, and business scenes.

With its thematic breadth, forward-thinking approach, and unique combination of exhibition and experience, Food & Hospitality Week is the place to be for anyone shaping the future of Australia’s hospitality industry.

The Food & Hospitality Week will take place on 3 days from Sunday, 18. May to Tuesday, 20. May 2025 in Melbourne.
