Exhibitor List -
https://www.gulfood.com/exhibitors
This is a B2B event, enabling visitors and exhibitors to negotiate the best deals on the show floor. No items are physically purchased at the show. This is strictly a trade exhibition.
Once you have completed your online registration, you will receive your URN number, confirming you have been registered. However, the actual badge will only be emailed to you a week before the show. Please note that this is a Print@Home badge, which means that you are required to print this badge and carry it along with you to the venue, BEFORE you make your way to the show. This Print@Home badge is mandatory to access the event.
Gulfood offers unlimited opportunities to network through the days of the 5 show and even prior to the start of the event.
Once you have registered, you will have access to the Gulfood Connexions App, through which you can access the Meetings Programme. Browse exhibitor and product information, and book meetings with those best suited for your business needs.
Pre-scheduling meetings allows you to make the most of your time during your visit to the show and filter down your search through thousands of exhibitors which will be at the show this year.
When using the meetings programme/mobile app to pre-schedule meetings, you will be able to choose from two locations to hold your meetings:
- Exhibitor Stands (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as it is the best place to trial exhibitor products and indulge in live demos), and/or
- At the Gulfood Connexions Meeting Room (Location TBC)
The mobile app is not currently live, but will go live in the coming weeks. Please check Gulfood emails and social for updates.
