VISITORS

Come and get to know the leading suppliers, experts, and emerging local newcomers in the industry.

EXHIBITOR

At the FFCR professional event, you will meet face-to-face with key decision-makers in the restaurant industry who possess significant purchasing power.

Like the entire beverage market, the brewery industry today is heavily driven by new products. Consumers are increasingly interested in—and know to seek out—new offerings. Trade fairs provide an excellent opportunity for breweries to introduce their latest products to visitors, as the threshold for trying something new is very low, and visitors are open to diverse taste experiences.
