"After a two-year hiatus, we are thrilled to be bringing the Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo and Coffee Fest back to the Los Angeles Convention Center for three-days of networking, product sourcing and education," said Rita Ugianskis, Vice President, Clarion Events Food & Beverage Group. "Attendees will have the opportunity to evaluate new foods and beverages, products, solutions and technology innovations from major companies on a robust show floor featuring the latest in menu engineering options, business and operational services and tools all designed to increase guest satisfaction and their bottom line."

Clarion Events Food & Beverage Group recently held the International Restaurant & Foodservice Show in New York, the first post-pandemic, and received high marks from the exhibitors. In a post event survey, exhibitor satisfaction increased 19 pts; exhibitor loyalty increased 10 pts; and exhibitor NPS increased a staggering 39 pts.
