Why Exhibit

MEANINGFUL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES: IIGS 2009 is a highly focussed B2B exhibition for international gourmet manufacturers, marketers and exporters to profile themselves to the cream of India’s commercial buyers and consumers. Dedicated to the fine food and wine industry, you will be able to showcase your products to one of the largest single international gatherings of fine food and wine importers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers - including noteworthy large-scale buyers from  hotels, airlines and restaurants.

PROFILING AS A CREDIBLE SOLUTION PROVIDER: your organisation can ensure that it is seen and counted amongst the most credible of the fine food and wine industry for this burgeoning sector, not just at IIGS 2009, but throughout the build-up to the event.

EARLY MOVER ADVANTAGE: whilst IIGS is international in focus – with many international gourmet food importers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers in attendance – the event’s host nation, India, is widely regarded to be one of the most important emerging markets within the global gourmet and wine industry. As an IIGS exhibitor, you will have the best possible promotional and networking platform to serve and access this burgeoning market, both for business development, and for forming important new partnerships with established local firms.

FOCUSSED, HIGH-LEVEL NETWORKING FUNCTIONS: with a world class 3 day B2B exhibition along with the India International Gourmet Summit and the traditional fine wine and food pairing opportunity for key Indian buyers, all key members of your company’s delegation will find at least one additional meaningful networking opportunity beyond the exhibition itself.

WORLD-CLASS EXHIBITION INFRASTRUCTURE: with a number of fully featured exhibition options, IIGS takes place at the most fitting and well located exhibition venue in India’s commercial capital – Grand Hyatt, Mumbai. The venue’s central location and proximity to both the domestic and international airports, large room inventory to support its convention facilities and spacious underground parking coupled with superior rooms and amenities not to mention five award winning restaurants make it the ideal location for the India International Gourmet Show.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: if you are a producer, exporter or marketer of gourmet food and are seeking meaningful business development opportunities at IIGS 2009 beyond exhibiting alone, numerous meaningful sponsorship opportunities exist for your organisation, including at the event’s high level Gourmet Summit, Awards and associated networking events.
