Leading tradeshow organizers Emerald and Questex will join forces for Las Vegas Food & Beverage Industry Week, an inaugural event featuring four premiere food and beverage shows under one roof at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), March 21 - 24, 2022.
World Tea Conference + Expo, Bar & Restaurant Expo, SIAL America and Pizza Expo will occur concurrently, uniting decision makers from all sectors of the $1.5 trillion food and beverage industry.
Food & Beverage Industry Week, along with the four leading events, underscores Las Vegas’ appeal as a premiere culinary destination. It further demonstrates its designation as the No. 1 trade show destination in North America for 26 consecutive years, according to the Trade Show News Network (TSNN), a leading resource for the trade show, exhibition and event industry.
“We are grateful for our partnership with Emerald and Questex and we are excited to welcome the first-ever Las Vegas Food & Beverage Week to the Las Vegas Convention Center,” said Brian Yost, chief operating officer for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), which owns and operates the LVCC. “Las Vegas brings key industries together, fostering in-person connections that move business forward. We look forward to providing the organizers, exhibitors and attendees of these shows with an Only Vegas experience.”
Jessica Blue, executive vice president, Emerald, noted, “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Questex for the inaugural edition of Food & Beverage Industry Week. It will be an exciting and invaluable week for everyone in the food and beverage industry.”
