Who visits ADIFE

Importers and distributors, retail and hypermarket buyers, hotel and restaurant procurement teams, food manufacturers and government food-security bodies. Many exhibitors take part through national pavilions.

Stand design tips for ADIFE

  • Plan sampling early. Tasting counters need water, power and food-safety approval included in the first brief.

  • Stand out in a pavilion. National pavilions set design rules; strong lighting and an open front help within those limits.

  • Leave room for meetings. Distributor and buyer meetings are the main business, so plan seating.

  • Keep stock secure. A lockable store room keeps samples and catalogues off the stand floor.

Planning timeline

  • 10–12 weeks before: confirm space and brief, start design

  • 6–8 weeks before: final design, submit drawings and service orders

  • 3–4 weeks before: fabrication and graphics

  • Build-up days: on-site installation and handover before opening; dismantling after the show closes
