The exhibit hall will offer access to hundreds of exhibiting companies offering thousands of new products and innovations in featured areas on the show floor. The event will continue to feature a strong focus on food and beverage products, with the Healthy Food Pavilion and Food Trends Experience Pavilions delivering access to the most sought after categories.
