The exhibition FOOD-INN 2009 will be held in the Sports Hall in Akureyri on the 3rd and 4th of October. The exhibition is the largest event in the activities of the association Matur úr Eyjafjörður - Local food, but the last exhibition was held in the autumn of 2007 at the Vocational School in Akureyri and was well attended.
The exhibition was attended by about 10 thousand people and it was clear immediately after it that the exhibition would be moved to another building. Therefore, the Sports Hall was now chosen and it will truly be turned into a dining hall and harvest house this first weekend of October. Matís will have a booth at the show and welcomes everyone to visit.
An event that will attract thousands of visitors
As before, it is planned that the exhibition will be both diverse and a highlight in Nordic food culture. There will be exhibition areas for companies and NGOs, there will also be a market area where it is ideal to sell the autumn harvest or anything else related to food and food culture. The exhibition area will also have fun competitions for visitors to attend, seminars (workshops) on various aspects of food and food culture, and finally a seminar on Icelandic food will be held in connection with the exhibition. At the same time, it will be information and entertainment that will undoubtedly attract thousands of visitors.
Emphasis is placed on the participation of as many companies related to food culture as possible, and the aim of the exhibition's relatives is to continue where the well-closed exhibition 2007 left off, to show and prove how important food plays in the North, from production and processing to food. - and service.
Opening hours for both days are from 11.00 to 17.00.
