We cordially invite you to attend our flagship ‘Apple’ event, Food&HotelAsia (FHA) - Asia’s preferred food and hospitality trade show. In its 40th year, FHA will take place in Singapore from 24 - 27 April across two venues: Singapore Expo and Suntec Singapore. It will be THE platform for industry players to source, taste and experience an international showcase of food and hospitality products, equipment and solutions across six distinct product sectors!
