WOFEX - World Food Expo
WOFEX (World Food Expo) is the biggest and most effective food trade show in the Philippines. For more than 20 years, it has consistently been the most attended and most awaited food and hospitality event – the only one that covers two simultaneous locations, the World Trade Center and SMX Convention Center.
Through our WOFEX events staged around the country, we are able to show what we do best – showcase the best of the food and hospitality industry, offer opportunities for continued education, stage the only local WACS-accredited culinary competition – the Philippine Culinary Cup and provide the perfect venue for an exchange of ideas, services and entrepreneurial insights.
