Food Retail Innovation Zone
When it comes to prepared food experiences, consumers are hungry for the perfect combo of convenience and quality. Adding dining, vending or grab-and-go foodservice can be a winning strategy to increase consumer dwell time and drive sales — whether it's full-service dining, fresh gourmet food or pre-ordered meals.
Step into the future in the Food Retail Innovation Zone, an interactive exploration of the technology and spicy trends leading the way in foodservice.
As a retail-focused event, this area specifically includes retail venues that serve food, distinguishing between food preparation areas (such as deli counters) and consumer-facing dining or pickup areas within retail operations. Additionally, it covers integrated retail-foodservice models found in hospitality and entertainment settings, where foodservice, grab-and-go, and retail offerings converge.
The Food Retail Innovation Zone will feature:
50+ food tech-focused booths
Immersive activations that focus on new customer experiences in C-store, autonomous retail and full-service restaurants
A stage with sessions led by industry leaders and innovators
Watch sessions that explore the technologies and innovations transforming the customer foodservice experience.
