BevExpo’s new Taste Town showcases drinks manufacturers and their products, adding a new area to the existing exhibition and seminar spaces. With brands such as Decorrum and Skinny Brands already signed up to participate. The two-day trade-only event will be held at the Manchester Central Convention Centre in Manchester City Centre on the 7th and 8th June 2022.

BevExpo is a free to attend, not for profit event which brings all sectors of the beverage industry together. It enables manufacturers, suppliers, and brand owners to meet, network, learn, and celebrate excellence throughout the supply chain.

The Taste Town will be the social hub within the exhibition where both visitors and exhibitors can connect and network whilst sampling different drinks from both local and national brands. Open from 2.30pm each day the Taste Town will play host to brands from a variety of sectors such as beer, cider, soft drinks and more.

Some of the biggest names in the beverage industry have acquired stand space within the exhibition at this year’s BevExpo, the 2022 exhibition line-up already includes Kegstar, Core Equipment and Microcan Ltd.

Commenting on the super-sized event, Ruth Evans, Chief Executive at BFBi, said: “It is more important than ever before to deliver an event that adds value for all participants whether they are exhibitors or visitors. After a tough 2 years, the expo is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever, with a full seminar and workshop programme alongside the new Taste Town, bringing drinks manufacturers into the fold and adding a new link to the chain.”

She added: “Crucially, because BevExpo is about the sharing of knowledge as much as the promotion of products and services, our two-day workshop and seminar programme will cover ‘hot topics’ and be delivered by industry experts from different sectors. This helps the entire industry to learn from each other and uncover exciting opportunities during a period of innovation and transformation.

“With BevExpo one of the most important dates in the calendar for everyone involved in the beverage sector, our message to anyone who hasn’t yet signed up is to do so fast. You don’t want to miss the chance to get your brand in front of hundreds of senior delegates!”

As well as exhibitors, visitors planning to attend BevExpo 2022 are also being encouraged to pre-register and secure their free pass.

A new event app will be launched in early 2022. This handy tool allows registered visitors to interact with each other and exhibitors prior to the event and will have everything they need at their fingertips. The launch of the event app is part of the new BevExpo’s sustainability programme.
