ABOUT NEXT
Where the industry comes to connect, learn and grow.

Why We Started NEXT
The food and hospitality landscape is shifting fast — but Western Canada lacked a show that truly captured where the industry is going. That’s why we created NEXT: a freshly curated, high-impact expo where innovation meets opportunity. We’re here to give emerging brands a stage, established players a new platform, and attendees the tools and connections they need to grow.
What Makes NEXT Different
NEXT isn’t just another show. It’s designed for impact.
🟥 Curated exhibitors that showcase only the best in food, beverage, equipment and tech
🟨 Immersive, high-touch experiences that spark real engagement
🟩 Future-focused content from industry leaders, changemakers and innovators
🟦 A high-energy vibe that ignites discovery, learning and deal-making
Every element of NEXT is designed to deliver value—for exhibitors, operators and partners alike.

Our vision is simple: to push the industry forward.
NEXT is where connections spark innovation, where products are discovered and where tomorrow’s ideas come to life.
We’re not here to follow the status quo—
we’re here to lead what’s NEXT.
