The International Food & Drink Event (IFE09) is converging at the Excel Centre, London, to bring together food and drink suppliers from across the world (15 to 18 March 2009). This biennial trade event provides an opportunity for the global food and drink community to share ideas, and to discover the latest in food and drink innovation. In 2007, the exhibition attracted over 24,000 food and drink buyers.

If you are not a food or drink buyer, or a restaurateur, you may still find the programme line-up at the IFE09 interesting:

1) The Skillery – run in association with the Craft Guild of Chefs, it will feature live demonstrations from a number of top chefs; and
2) Flavours of the IFE – a series of food seminars.

It’s free to go to IFE09 if you register in advance on their website, saving you the £30 fee charged at the door.
