The leading event for food service, hospitality and restaurant operations professionals
Atom Business Events’ Food, Drink and Operations event brings together a powerful combination of industry leading professionals, key industry solution providers and global decision makers under one roof.
The event starts with an informal networking dinner, with a day of pre-arranged meetings scheduled for the following day. Suppliers are able to book exhibition stand space in order to more effectively demonstrate and sample their products and we receive consistently great feedback on the format and effectiveness of this approach.

Our next event is on 28th – 29th June 2021

Case studies
Itinerary
During each Atom Business Event, pre-matched buyers and suppliers follow their personal schedules of chosen one-to-one meetings, each lasting 20 minutes – a prime amount of time to make positive introductions and gauge if there are potential leads to pursue.
Throughout the two days there is also plenty of time to continue conversations and visit other exhibitors as well as network with useful industry contacts.
