The much awaited third edition of the Fast Food and Cafe Convention (FFCC), co-hosted by Khaleej Times and organised by Oddbox, will return to Dubai, on November 22, 2023. This annual event offers a singular chance for networking, cooperation, and innovation, solidifying its position as the leading platform for the QSR, fast casual, café, and cloud kitchen segments.

Dubai was an obvious option to host this esteemed event because of its thriving culinary scene and status as a major international commercial centre. The third FFCC 2023 is projected to be larger and better than before, with over 50 speakers and industry professionals, over 40 exhibitors, and over 1000 guests. The Intercontinental Dubai Festival City, the convention's venue, provides the ideal environment for exhibitors to present their most recent goods, services, and inventions. This event will unite a wide spectrum of industry participants under one roof, including independent cafés, cloud kitchens, quick casual restaurants, and national and international fast-food chains.

Attendees may anticipate a packed schedule of thought-provoking keynote addresses, panel discussions, and seminars delivered by professionals in the field during the conference. These stimulating seminars will explore the most recent developments, obstacles, and prospects in the industry, assisting companies in remaining competitive in a field that is changing quickly.

The convention's theme this year is the F&B industry's changing dynamics, with a focus on the role of technology and the rising need for sustainability. Participants will have the chance to take part in interactive workshops, study cutting-edge solutions that are reshaping the industry, and engage in thought-provoking conversations.

The conference will also include an expo showcasing the newest machinery, supplies, and innovations that will shape the fast food and cafe industries in the future. In order to broaden their networks and investigate new business prospects, exhibitors will have the chance to network with prospective customers, partners, and investors. A major event for experts in the QSR, fast casual, cafe, and cloud kitchen segments of the F&B business, the Fast Food and Cafe Convention brings them together.
