Food, Drink & Hospitality Week (FDHW) is a business trade event that connects professionals in food and drink (manufacturing, supply and distribution), foodservice, catering and hospitality with brands, products and services.
To establish that all attendees to FDHW are legitimate professionals in the industry, the trade status, employment and/or business of all visitors will be verified. If the information provided is false, illegitimate or irrelevant, the FDHW team reserve the right to decline a visitor’s registration and entry to FDHW.
• All Montgomery Group events are strictly trade events and therefore visitor registrations will be verified and visitors required to provide proof of trade status and industry relevance when registering to FDHW. To ensure a smooth registration process you may need to provide additional information and if you cannot your registration may not be approved. Additional information includes but is not limited to:
- Website, LinkedIn or social media business page URL.
- Proof of employment at a legitimate company relevant to FDHW – invoice, employment contract, legitimate business email.
- Business card or similar physical document.
- A referral from an industry professional with contact details.
• IFE is a business-to-business trade event and therefore does not admit visitors under the age of 18.
• Registration is free of charge until 11:59 pm on Sunday 29th March 2026. Any registrations taking place from 12:00 am on Monday 30th March 2026 will be charged at £50 + VAT to encourage visitors to register before arriving onsite and to discourage any non-trade visitors attempting to enter the event. For full payment terms and conditions please click here.
• From 5pm on Tuesday 31st March 2026 online registration will be closed. Anyone wishing to register after this must do so with the onsite team at the main registration desk at Excel and will be asked to show proof of trade status.
• Onsite registration will close at 2pm on Wednesday 1st April 2026. There will be additional ID and bag checks from 3pm to show close on all days. There will be a dedicated registration desk located in the central boulevard for any outstanding registration queries and onsite registration.
• All attendees, be they visitors, exhibitors, press, competitors or speakers, to Montgomery Group events must hold a valid badge and be registered for the current show either at the event or pre-show.
• Badge holders must not allow their badges to be worn by anyone else. Any failure is likely to lead to the badge holder and the person wearing the badge being removed from the event and possibly being barred from attending future Montgomery Group events.
• Anyone attending IFE should carry some form of photo-ID (passport, photo-ID driving licence, national identity card) or other identification. FDHW staff have the right to request proof of business ID, e.g. business card, website or LinkedIn. If the proof provided is fraudulent, or staff deem it illegitimate, visitors may be asked to leave the show. Random ID checks will be carried out and additional security will be positioned on the entrances and patrolling the show floor.
• Anyone attending IFE must not take part in any canvassing, leafleting, demonstrations, objectionable behaviour or any activity which may disrupt the business activities at the show.
• Press badges at IFE are restricted to publishers, editors, journalists, photographers, broadcasters and bloggers associated with the relevant industries. Members of the press may be required to complete an application form and produce accreditation in the form of a photocopy of a recognised press or media card, business card, NUJ card, a letter from the editor or an official web address linking to a press release or article in order to verify their position. If you are already receiving event press releases from us, you will be emailed a press code by us which you should enter when registering for the event. If you wish to start receiving our releases and would like to attend the event, please email nicola.macdonald@montgomerygroup.com with details of your publication and job title. Press applications from advertising personnel and media sales representatives will not be accepted.
• Official photographers & videographers will be taking photographs and other images at IFE. The Organisers shall be entitled to use such photographs, which may include photographs or video footage of visitors, for the purpose of marketing the event attended and other Montgomery Group events in the future. If you would prefer this not to be the case, please email a photograph of yourself to ifeteam@montgomerygroup.com. The subject of the email must include the show name and DO NOT USE MY PHOTO.
