IFEX 2028

IFEX 2026, Northern Ireland’s premier food, drink, retail and hospitality trade event, has wrapped up a highly successful three days at its new home, the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn.

The move to the larger venue marked a significant new chapter for the event, with strong engagement across the show floor and feature areas throughout. Feedback from both exhibitors and visitors confirmed that IFEX continues to play an essential role in driving meaningful connections and commercial opportunities across the sector.

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.

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.
