More about Hotelympia 2018

The Professional Kitchen Show is set to offer 2018’s very first and most comprehensive view of everything new in catering equipment and kitchen design as it welcomes over 150 dedicated exhibitors to the show floor – the largest gathering of its kind in the UK.

The newly created Interiors and Tableware Show at Hotelympia will offer show visitors an array of innovative suppliers and experiential features backed by specially commissioned insight. Hotelympia has partnered with SquareMeal, the market-leading independent restaurant guide, to bring a unique experiential installation to the show, helping to highlight 2018’s emerging consumer trends and influence key buying decisions.

Hotelympia has a long history of welcoming and nurturing the next generation and this will continue in earnest through Salon Culinaire, which returns to the fold as part of The Foodservice Show. Candidates are set to do battle in four competitive elements: live restaurant challenge, La Parade de Chefs, the breath-taking static work of Salon Display, the competitive Live Theatre and student-focused Skills Theatre.

With technology revolutionising the way we think about and interact with food and food suppliers, the Hospitality Tech Show will champion the brightest and best new products and solutions emerging from global hospitality tech players, alongside some exciting entrepreneurial smaller businesses.

Hotelympia portfolio director Ross Carter comments:

“For the past 83 years Hotelympia has upheld a proud tradition of demonstrating the future of hospitality. In 2018, this promise is strengthened by giving each of our dedicated sectors its own clear identity and defined space in which to do business. The 2018 exhibitor list for each show already reads like a who’s who of innovators, but this time around we are delighted to be giving a platform to some of the UK’s most exciting start-ups – suppliers in every sector that will be setting the agenda for years to come. I urge visitors hungry for insight, innovation and everything new in hospitality to preregister for Hotelympia today.”
