WOFEX DRINKS + BAKES
In 2025, in time for the 25th anniversary of WOFEX, we launched a brand-new show designed to give a new twist to trade shows.
WOFEX Drinks + Bakes was set to put the spotlight on the highly-profitable beverage and baking industries and the show did exactly that. It was three days of all things brew, bar and bakes with the expo floor packed with top suppliers of beverage and baking ingredients, supplies, equipment, and more.
Aside from sourcing, visitors were also able to avail of learning opportunities thru seminars and free demos. Adding to the excitement, were the various barista and bar competitions, as well as the largest cake show in the country, Cake Fiesta Manila.
The huge success of WOFEX Drinks + Bakes strengthened our commitment to continue to provide business and learning opportunities for business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs and culinarians when it comes to all things brew, bar and bakes.
