IFT - Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo 2010 The #1 gathering of the world's food professionals in expanded facilities, with expanded exhibit times and expanded session breaks.

We are proud to announce a new agreement between IFT and the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) to co-locate the IFT Food Expo and the FPSA PROCESS EXPO. Next year in Chicago, we will be bringing two premier events together under one roof at McCormick Place. The IFT Food Expo will be held in the south hall and PROCESS EXPO will be held in the north hall.

During its three day meeting, PROCESS EXPO draws 10,000 food processing and packaging professionals, while the IFT Food Expo welcomes approximately 18,000 attendees. This co-location partnership will be a catalyst for generating new opportunities not only for IFT and FPSA, but for all those participating as either show attendees or exhibitors.
As an additional benefit, we will be targeting corporate teams, and encouraging employees from product development, processing and packaging to experience these expos together.

Since both organizations share a common commitment to food safety, there is a unique opportunity to expand educational offerings, particularly in that area.

If you're looking for a venue that's both inviting and innovative, you have to be here. New Wave Experiences Mandalay Bay continues to invest in a new wave of enhancements both in the convention space and within the resort as a whole. New restaurant openings including Orla by Michael Mina, drawing inspiration from the award-winning chef’s childhood in Egypt and with flavors and décor inspired by the spices found in markets common to coastal Mediterranean towns, as well as Caramá by Wolfgang Puck, bringing the essence of Italy and spirit of Wolfgang into one concept, are recent additions. The Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas also experienced a recent remodel of all 424 rooms. Swingers, a high-end, adults-only golf and entertainment concept will debut in Fall 2024. Enhanced Technology Creating a truly effective conference venue requires careful thought into what a business needs: the right technology, capacity, and inspiration to bring ideas to the next level. As part of the resort’s refresh, Mandalay Bay implemented state-of-the-art technology upgrades, installing cutting-edge Cat6A Ethernet cabling throughout the convention center. This advancement doubles the frequency of data transmission, enabling lightning-fast speeds up to 9400% faster. The convention center now boasts 11 dynamic digital walls, spanning up to 24' x 13', strategically positioned for brand placements, sponsorships and targeted event messaging. Additionally, attendees can benefit from 20 double-sided 55" mobile flexible display units, facilitating effortless navigation to meeting rooms and events. RFID locks were installed on all meeting room doors, and over 200 motion detection cameras have been placed throughout the space. Refreshing New Design & Fine Art The newly remodeled convention space provides a bright and vibrant atmosphere that complements Mandalay Bay's tropical-inspired brand. Featuring white-washed walls and ceilings adorned with bold floral patterns in cerulean and coral tones, the space is complemented by warm walnut accent walls. In addition to the redesign of all pre-function spaces, meeting rooms and ballrooms, Mandalay Bay's 1 million square feet of exhibit space has undergone a rejuvenation, including new paint, covered pillars and relocated strobe lights.

Refillable water stations all available around the resort, cutting unnecessary plastic usage from single-use bottles.
