ScotHot, Scotland’s food, drink, hospitality and tourism show is returning for the Year of Food & Drink in 2015 as part of Scottish Tourism Week’s Signature Programme.
Running from 4 to 5 March 2015, the show will take place at Glasgow’s SECC and will bring together suppliers of food and drink; catering equipment; décor and design; tableware and technology products with chefs and buyers from hotels, restaurants, bars, catering outlets and tourism destinations.
ScotHot 2015 will include the 30th Scottish Culinary Championships, which challenges chefs to create show-stopping food sculptures as well as being judged in a live cook-off on the main stage. Visitors will also be treated to a line-up of experts giving business advice and workshops at The Spotlight Stage. Cutting edge developments in catering equipment will be showcased in the CESA Innovation Zone, providing the largest collection of new catering products available anywhere on the market.
ScotHot’s Event Director, Soraya Gadelrab, said:
“We’re delighted to bring ScotHot back to Glasgow in 2015 especially as it’s the Year of Food & Drink. We’re looking forward to putting on the ultimate show for those working in the hospitality industry. ScotHot has a reputation as the place for showcasing catering trends and industry insights, as well as a prime place to network with those in the know. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to ScotHot 2015”
ScotHot is part of Scottish Tourism Week’s Signature Programme, which brings together other must-attend events for the hospitality industry including the Scottish Tourism Industry Conference; Scottish Tourism Week Dinner with a Difference and the ‘Oscars’ of the Scottish tourism industry, the Scottish Thistle Awards.
Gadelrab adds: “We’re so exited to be such a key part of Scottish Tourism Week’s Signature Programme this year. It’s incredible to see such unity across the sectors celebrating all that is great about Scottish food, drink, hospitality and tourism.
Marc Crothall, CEO of Scottish Tourism Alliance, said:
“Accounting for 20% of tourism spend, food and drink is an integral part of the customer journey and it sits at the core of Scotland’s national tourism strategy. Keeping abreast of future trends and product innovation is vital to delivering the growth our industry aspires to. We’re therefore delighted to have ScotHot firmly under the umbrella of the 2015 Scottish Tourism Week Signature Programme. The show is a perfect fit for Scottish Tourism Week and it provides yet another great reason why all those who are serious about tourism and hospitality in Scotland should put the dates in their diary.”
With a heritage dating back over 40 years, the show runs every two years.
