IFEX 2026

IFEX is Northern Ireland’s premier food, drink, retail and hospitality trade event. We're BACK in 2026 at a new location, the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn, Belfast from 24^th – 26^th February.

With visitor figures up 22% in 2024, exhibitors reported that substantial business was done and overwhelmingly positive feedback from visitors and exhibitors alike. We're so excited to welcome you back next year.

Mark Stuart-Maunder, Henderson Foodservice

Very, very good show, great to connect with both customers and suppliers. It’s great to be back. See you at IFEX 2024.

Robert O’Neill, Kelly Hygiene & Catering Equipment

IFEX 2022 was a fantastic show for our business. Well organised, brilliant footfall with strong orders coming through from our clients. We will be happy to continue this relationship with IFEX in 2024

Seamus Daly & Geoffrey O’Donnell, Snacks For You.

The show has been a great success and we have made a lot of good contacts with companies who hopefully will propel our business to a new level. Also very well organised by the events team and Lyndsey did a great job with all the exhibitors. We will be back! Thank you.

Luke Carman, UK & Ireland Sales Manager, Cambro Manufacturing

2022 was the first time Cambro had a stand-alone booth at IFEX. We were delighted with not only how many visitors attended but also the level of interest shown by end users. Enquiries were made into our wide range of shelving solutions, but our insulated transport solutions were also equally as popular. One week later, we have already converted exhibition enquiries into new orders. We will be back.
