‘World Tea,’ Major Tradeshows Launch Las Vegas ‘Food & Beverage Industry Week’

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.
