Uno Chicago Grill, Pizza Hut, Round Table Pizza and California Pizza Kitchen are just a handful of pizzerias that have recently researched expansion in Dubai and other key Middle Eastern markets. Now their executives and others looking to get in on the hot nontraditional market have both a trade show and interactive conference tailored to the area’s food and beverage sector.
In response to overwhelming demand, Gulfood, Dubai’s largest trade exhibition for food, drink, food service and hospitality equipment, is launching the inaugural Gulfood Conference, according to a company statement.
The Conference, titled “Global Trends in Food, Beverage and Processing,” will run alongside Gulfood, which takes place from Feb. 21 – 24, 2010, at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
“Gulfood is the largest trade exhibition in the Middle East and is the gateway for penetration into the entire Middle East, North Africa and India regions,” according to Tara Rogers, spokesperson. “The highly developed infrastructure in Dubai in terms of logistics, trading platform, minimal bureaucracy, low taxation and geographical proximity makes the city an attractive and highly successful hub.”
