FHA-Food & Beverage to take place as plannedSingapore, 5 February 2020 - Informa Markets, the organiser of FHA-HoReCa, today announced that it will postpone the event to 13-16 July 2020 at Singapore Expo due to the evolving 2019 novel coronavirus situation. The decision was made following extensive consultations with exhibitors & industry partners and considering the knock-on effects on the wider HoReCa industry as a direct consequence of the significant impact to international travel during this period.

The former seeks to bring together an extensive line-up of leading hospitality suppliers in the region while the latter is Asia’s largest international event for the food and beverage industry.

Serving a wide range of industry segments including retail, wholesale, e-commerce and foodservice, the FHA-Food & Beverage event remains robust in the current climate and visitor pre-registrations continue to pour in.
