Our brilliant new Fine Food New Zealand website is online in time for the Christmas/New Year break. The site has beem completely refreshed and is designed to provide expanded promotional resources to exhibitors while enhancing the show experience for visitors.

Some functionality is yet to go 'live' but the full website will offer visitors a range of useful new functions like the ability to search via numerous categories for the products they want, create personalised show 'itineraries', use interactive floor maps, and share via social networking sites.

Exhibitors gain their own profile pages to promote their products and services directly to visitors, link to their Facebook and Twitter accounts, and help drive traffic from their own websites to the show. Check back in the new year when the full functionality will be up and running. 

Stunning show features confirmed - and more to come

Major industry organisations will mount a series of must-see events at Fine Food New Zealand 2012. The Baking Industry Association of New Zealand (BIANZ) will bring competitions to this year's show, including the New Zealand Bakery of the Year Competition, demonstrations, master classes, live bake-offs and demos, and the 'Gingerbread House' networking venue, and will host its AGM on site.
