ABOUT THE FAIR
Seoul Food & Hotel (SFH) is South Korea’s leading trade fair for the food, beverage, and hospitality industries, and ranks among the most important events of its kind in Asia. Held annually at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX) in Goyang—a modern city with excellent transport links just north of Seoul—the exhibition attracts decision-makers, trade professionals, and exhibitors from around the world. The event is organized by Informa Markets, a globally recognized organizer of international trade fairs.
More than just an exhibition, SFH serves as a central platform for innovation, knowledge exchange, and business development in one of East Asia’s most economically dynamic regions. Its unique character lies in the combination of culinary diversity with technological advancements and high-quality equipment for the foodservice, hospitality, and food production sectors. Exhibits range from meat, seafood, dairy products, frozen foods, and baked goods to beverages. This is complemented by advanced solutions for food processing and packaging, professional kitchen equipment, logistics systems, and sustainable concepts.
A key advantage of SFH is its international B2B networking program, which actively facilitates business contacts and fosters strategic partnerships. The event primarily attracts international buyers, hotel and restaurant operators, distributors, importers, wholesalers, and representatives from the food industry. Exhibitors include companies from food production, mechanical engineering, packaging technology, kitchen equipment, and hotel and hospitality services.
SFH also acts as a strategic platform to position South Korea as an innovative player in the global food and hospitality market. It showcases the country’s strengths in quality, technology, and design—within an international environment focused on competition, knowledge transfer, and progress.
With the ultra-modern KINTEX venue, the fair offers excellent logistical access—including proximity to the subway and Incheon International Airport—and an infrastructure ideally suited for large-scale international events. The city of Goyang itself also impresses with a wide range of hotel and leisure options, making SFH a rewarding experience both professionally and culturally.
The Seoul Food & Hotel takes place annually, and therefore for the 19th time previsibly in June 2027 in Goyang .
