As the situation in New South Wales and Greater Sydney in particular in regards to COVID-19 has been unfolding rapidly. foodpro have been closely monitoring the situation and implications for the upcoming event, scheduled to take place next month (25-28 July) at Sydney Showground.
In response to the recent developments and ongoing uncertainty, the difficult decision has been made to postpone, foodpro will now be held on the new dates 10-13 October 2021 at Sydney Showground.
With foodpro 2021 due to take place in just four weeks, the health and safety of the community and limiting the threat of exposure was the greatest consideration. Whilst it is not a decision made lightly, it is a timely one as many foodpro exhibitors start to meet crucial timelines in their event planning.
The duty of care to visitors, exhibitors, partners and staff is taken very seriously and this is the most appropriate action to ensure the best and safest show experience for everyone when the food industry can come together later in the year.
Although this is not the first time foodpro has been postponed, the team are confident that the event can return with the same strength and resilience shared by the manufacturing community.
foodpro continues to be grateful for all the support and look forward to reuniting the industry in October 2021!
