The most important food conversation in New Zealand is coming soon. Food Hui 2020 is a two-day gathering presented by the Restaurant Association of New Zealand and Eat New Zealand to consider some of the most important questions, challenges and opportunities in New Zealand food and hospitality at the moment.
We’re a small country with a big voice, and when we speak, more often than not, the world listens. So, Food Hui is gathering up some of the best local and international speakers who bring with them tools, stories, and ideas to educate and inspire.
This year Food Hui is excited to be joined by Benjamin Calleja, Co-Founder of The Fast Fine Restaurant Group, (V and 1889 Fast Fine Pizza) the birthplace of Fast Fine Social, who will speak about bringing experiential, thoughtful and efficient concepts to the Stockholm, Malmö and Los Angeles markets and eventually all over the world.
