foodpro to return to Melbourne in 2026

Australia’s major food and beverage manufacturing sector event, foodpro 2026, will return to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from 26 to 29 July.

Held once every three years, foodpro provides exhibitors with the opportunity to showcase next-generation processing, packaging, ingredients and technology to a highly targeted audience of decision-makers.

Diversified Communications organises foodpro, which industry experts widely regard as a critical platform for industry leaders to connect with Australia’s largest food and beverage manufacturing audience, and exhibitor applications are now open.

“foodpro attracts a highly qualified audience of decision-makers focused on discovering, evaluating and investing in the latest in food processing, packaging and food innovation. It’s where the industry comes together to future-proof operations and shape business growth,” said Louise Brooks, Event Director for foodpro.

Across the show floor, foodpro 2026 will span eight key product zones, including:

• Food Science & Technology
• Ingredients & Additives
• Processing & Packaging
• Packaging Materials
• Beverage Equipment
• Intelligent & Digital Factories
• Factory Infrastructure, Logistics & Handling
• Government & Business Services
   

In 2023, foodpro attracted over 9000 industry professionals and 385 exhibitors.

With Australia’s food sector undergoing rapid transformation due to global demand, consumer expectations and sustainability pressures, the organisers say foodpro 2026 will provide a platform to drive investment and forge long-term partnerships.
