Check with your local authorities if you require any permits or licenses to set up a food exhibition. This may include permits for food handling, health and safety regulations, and temporary event licensing. Plan your layout: Sketch out your exhibition space and determine how you want to arrange your booths/stations, seating areas, and any additional features like cooking demonstrations or tasting counters. Make sure to consider the flow of visitors and ensure there is enough space for people to move around comfortably. Invite participants: Reach out to local food vendors, restaurants, or caterers and invite them to participate in your exhibition.
