You haven't seen this EXPO before!

If you’ve been to the Louisiana Foodservice & Hospitality EXPO before, you know how awesome it is to explore the hundreds of companies, check out the Idea Zone presentations, cheer on the Louisiana chef in the Great American Seafood Cook Off and see your peers in the industry. But why is this year different? More than 80 new exhibiting companies will be there!

An unprecedented amount of emerging companies want to share their products and services with you August 3-5 at the 60^th Annual EXPO themed, “A Toast to Talent.” From food purveyors, online tools and solutions providers, insurance services, flatware, packaging, sustainability services, pest control, uniforms and many, many more, you can’t afford to seek out these companies on your own.

And this exciting news is certainly not meant to lessen your enthusiasm about our returning exhibitors. Many of the companies and brands you know and love will be under one roof as well, ready to share their latest and greatest products, innovations and resources.

You want to hear the best part? Louisiana Restaurant Association members receive complimentary admission for four of their key staff members. Not an LRA member? You’ll have to fork over $40 a head on site ($25 in advance here), but it’s totally worth it.

Check out our 8 Reasons to Attend the EXPO here. Eight is enough to get you in the door, many more will keep you there over three days.

Let us not forget to thank our Platinum Sponsors—CapitalOne Bank, Glazer’s Distributors, Louisiana Cookin’, Republic National Distributing Company, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and the LRA Self Insurer’s Fund for Workers’ Compensation.
