Testimonials:

TO THE TABLE ASIA is only as good as the delegates who have attended say it is… turns out they have some very positive comments.

What the Suppliers said:

As a first time attendee of TO THE TABLE, I have nothing but positive things to say about the event. After over two years of limited global travel, the event confirmed that there is no replacement for in-person discussion. The opportunity to discuss, debate and negotiate with colleagues, peers and clients has been invaluable and only further enhances market understanding and connections. When travelling, arranging and organising meeting timings is not always straightforward as all professionals will know but TO THE TABLE manage to perfect it and make the build up an entirely enjoyable process. Thank you again to all organisers and delegates. It was a pleasure to be a part of.

International Hotels and Export Sales Manager, Churchill

TO THE TABLE Asia was once again a great and very beneficial event in an awesome location and very useful for my role on the Key Account side of our business. Every meeting has been different and there is so much to learn from and give to each other to develop our industry always further. The seminars have been awesome with so important subjects as sustainability and thoughts about solutions which will help making the world better.

Key Account Manager Global Hospitality - WMF Professional

TO THE TABLE events provide a fantastic forum to meet and interact with colleagues within our industry by facilitating focused and useful dialogue between buyers and suppliers. We were able to learn about our clients' needs and provide an outline of how we can help, as a starting point for a mutually beneficial relationship going forward. The social events are fun, interactive and planned with great attention to detail. TO THE TABLE Asia 2022 was our second event this year and the entire programme, including very informative seminars, was super productive.  We are excited for the next program already.

President – IMPULSE! Enterprises LLC

It was our pleasure to attend TO THE TABLE again this year! We greatly enjoyed the APAC happening in Bangkok: meeting and networking with lots of exceptional professionals and getting inspired by some interesting seminars on the future of hospitality. I personally love the format of the one-to-one meetings and I find it truly effective and impactful. Everything was beautifully organised and executed. Thanks to the organisers for putting together such a great event.

Global Business Development Manager - Modbar

TO THE TABLE is undoubtedly the most professionally organised event which giving us an efficient platform to discuss potential business. Williams Refrigeration has participated in TO THE TABLE Asia since its first one in 2012 at Singapore and it never disappoints us. Great job Justin & Debbie!

Sales and Marketing Director – Williams Refrigeration (Hong Kong)

I have been doing TO THE TABLE events for many years now and I have to say the APAC event that took place in Bangkok was one of the best events I ever had. One of the main reasons ScanBox continues to participate in such events is to meet the hotel corporate decision makers and the quality of the people that are invited from the corporate segment. This year was no exception and the quality of people we met at the event was of a very high standard. TO THE TABLE allows me to create a solid working relationship with the main project decision makers of international corporate hotels and the way the 3-day programme is designed, it allows everyone to meet and network with the most influential people in our industry. I would highly recommend this event to those looking to get closer to the new and existing project decision makers under one-roof.

Regional Head, MEA, APAC, India & Africa – Scanbox

It was super reconnecting again, in person, with industry colleagues from the past and great to make so many new contacts. TO THE TABLE proved to be excellent again when it comes to relevant panel discussions and also the importance and interest of buyer attendees.

Managing Director – Bartech Asia Pacific

We had a great meeting time at TO THE TABLE Asia 2022, that helped us to recover our lost attitude in meeting in person, after such a long pandemic, Zoom and Teams time. We can now follow up with buyers for a positive business response and development. Perfect organisation from your side and very interesting conferences and social meeting moments.

Managing Director - Rivolta Carmignani

This is my 4th time joining TO THE TABLE and as usual the team never disappoints, organisation and arrangements were neat, hospitality was world class, atmosphere was very friendly striking a great balance between casual and formal discussions and networking. Always a pleasure to take part of such a strong networking event.

Vice President, Southeast Asia – Diversey

Thanks again for a well-organised event. We found this event to be especially beneficial. We actually sold our display equipment during the event and are already in discussions with a second buyer for their pending grill project, something which has rarely happened in my career. So we can already say we have recouped a significant portion of our registration fee for the event. Your team also did a fantastic job of keeping everything running smoothly and professionally. Well done to everyone!

Business Development – Kopa Grilling Solutions

Thank you for a tremendous TO THE TABLE event in Bangkok. After a long hiatus it was great to all get together again and catch up with old friends and make plenty of new ones. I thoroughly enjoyed the panel discussions and speaking to so many quality buyers. I came away from the event with a very good understanding of where our industry is going. Exciting times ahead and I look forward to reconnecting in KL next year.

Vice President Corporate Accounts, Asia Pacific – Ecolab

Personally it was my first TO THE TABLE and I was thrilled with the organisation and the quality of the participants. The group of buyers was excellent, many projects and prospects are underway. As a company, Sambonet/Rosenthal have been participating for several years and I can confirm that our group is very satisfied.

Head of International Sales - Sambonet & Rosenthal

The TO THE TABLE Asia 2022 event presented us the platform to meet with several key people in the hotel industry and these one-to-one sessions have provided us with a better understanding of the needs and trends in the industry. As manufacturers, we were able to impart and share our thoughts and views on the technological advancements, as well as the limitations, within the industry.  Now both parties understand each other better and come through where both parties will gain.

Head of Marketing & Sales – Rex Royal Swiss Coffee Machines

TO THE TABLE has proven itself to be a great event held in multiple areas over many years for us. The targeted meetings we have with the actual decision maker are generally very fruitful and generate new projects consistently. The clients get to talk directly to the manufacturer and great bonds are formed leading to better business.

Sales Manager – Beech Ovens

TO THE TABLE is a great event which helps you have focused meetings with the correct decision makers in the industry. TO THE TABLE Asia 2022 in Bangkok was a great example of a successful edition of TTT. There was a good mix of buyers and sufficient opportunities to network around the scheduled meetings. I am looking forward to the next edition.

Regional Sales Director MEAAP – Craster Ltd

What the Buyers said:

After two years away it was refreshing to return to TO THE TABLE Asia 2022. As always the event was flawless and managed from start to finish with the exact precision of a Swiss watch. I was impressed with the diversity of suppliers and even more surprised to see the number of new products that these suppliers had developed during the covid period. The seminars were refreshing and certainly related to the current market conditions that we now find ourselves working through. However, I felt that the biggest take away was the interaction over the coffee breaks, lunches and dinners and being able to re-engaged with suppliers and delegates in person for the first time in many years. I for one will certainly be attending the next event in Asia.

Senior Vice President, Food & Beverage, Southeast Asia, Japan & South Korea – Accor Hotels

It was truly wonderful to be part of this amazing event, TO THE TABLE. The event was well organised and the seminar sessions and one-to-one meetings were relevant and very helpful. I especially liked your selection of plenary speakers and the format of the entire event. Thanks for making the conference so worthwhile.

Culinary Director APEC - Marriott International

Thank you for a successful event, really well done. It was a very valuable and productive event for myself and Radisson Hotel Group. I definitely look forward to the next event.

Senior Director, Future Openings South East Asia & Pacific & Regional Operations Thailand – Radisson Hotel Group

TO THE TABLE Asia 2022 was a wonderful event, possibly one of the best industry events I have ever attended.
Such a well-organised event with great discussions, so in tune with the pressing issues in today's hospitality world post covid. The professionals and suppliers chosen to attend was very well done. Bravo!

Group Culinary and F&B Director - Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas

Being in the industry for almost two decades, it was my first time to TO THE TABLE and I must say it was the most efficient event in order to connect with amazing suppliers, meet colleagues from other chains and get to make new friends at the same time. The organisation was spotless with amazing dinners and panel discussions. Highly recommended to attend in order to reconnect and discover all new products out there.

Corporate Director of Food & Beverage - Dusit International

It’s a fruitful, engaging and fun event. New interesting products brought in which caught our attention and now we are engaging with them which was never possible without the TO THE TABLE event. Looking forward to the next one already! Thank you TO THE TABLE!

Vice President of Food & Beverage, Asia - Millennium Hotels & Resorts

Congratulation and thank you, the event was great and well organised. We know you spent many months planning the event and it showed. It was nice to connect with suppliers, hoteliers and your team once again. We especially liked your selection of the speakers. Next year’s event will have hands full trying to equal the quality of this year’s event. Thank you for making the TO THE TABLE in Bangkok so worthwhile.

Strategic Sourcing Manager - Minor International PCL.

TO THE TABLE Asia 2022 was a great networking opportunity, the occasion to meet with the best professionals in the region, share insights about the present and future of the industry on key topics for all of us. The meetings with the suppliers were also a truly enriching opportunity, to get a more in-depth knowledge of the products they represent and a better understanding of how they could suit our needs - what the same meetings with the local distributor cannot bring. And kudos to the organisation for a very well planned and executed event, efficient, professional and fun!

Group Director of Food & Beverage, Middle East & Asia Pacific – The Standard Hotels

The concept is highly beneficial for both the buying & the supplying companies related to the F&B field. Exhibitions and fairs are also meant for the similar purpose however it gets difficult to exchange a productive conversation at such events whereas TO THE TABLE provided such opportunity and that too in a strictly time bound manner. Kudos to you for innovating this.

Assistant Vice President, Corporate Purchasing – Oberoi Hotels & Resorts

As a first timer, I found the format invaluable in the concentration of meetings. Unlike larger tradeshows the vendors and buyers feel handpicked, and business starts right away. The mixture of business, social and educational events over the days were a perfect blend to meet, greet and formalise a business relationship with new people, and have some fun. I look forward to the next one.

Corporate Food & Beverage Director – Six Senses Hotels, Resorts & Spas

TO THE TABLE Asia was a truly unique experience, a perfect mix of expert seminars, supplier interactions that were set up to allow for meaningful discussion and some excellent networking events at some of the most renowned hotels in Bangkok. TO THE TABLE was an event to remember and they truly nail the meaning of great hospitality!!

APAC Regional Director, Compass Group

I attended TO THE TABLE Asia 2022 in Bangkok it was a fantastic event. Great to meet with colleagues and suppliers from all over the world, especially after the last two years, it was great to see everyone traveling again. The event was organised into the smallest details, the team did a fabulous job. The mobile app worked perfectly and all events started strictly on time. The meetings with the supplier were very beneficial, it was good to have your meetings in this setup, from both sides the supplier and yourself know whom you will meet and you can do your homework upfront. That makes TO THE TABLE events very efficient. During the seminars we had some great discussions, with interesting speakers. Looking forward to future events and meeting again.

Corporate Chef, The Lux Collective

It was my first TO THE TABLE and the experience was brilliant, the event offered the opportunity to meet with potential suppliers and clients at once. On top of that, the seminars and networking were fantastic and enjoyable. Thanks to the whole team for organising and a very special thanks to the guest speakers for such great discussions on important topics that concerns us all.

Regional Director, South East Asia - Cairncross Martin

After the travel restrictions over the past three years, it was great to reconnect with industry counterparts and acquaint myself with new suppliers. I thought that overall, the choice of event venue was perfect, it was very well organised and everything went very smoothly. The quality of attendees was very high, and the seminars were excellent. Looking forward to future events.

Vice President Design Management & Projects – Pontiac Land

As it was my first TO THE TABLE, and coming out of the covid-era, the event was a great opportunity to reforge professional ties with new and familiar faces of the industry. The forum allowed us to level with each other and talk about what matters most, and in a way that reinforces the idea behind bringing us to the table. A big thank you to the team!

Associate Director of Creative Services – greymatters

It was my honour to be invited to join TO THE TABLE Asia 2022. I met many new suppliers, as well as reconnected with suppliers whom I have worked together for decades. It was great to explore new experiences and technology. Definitely, I will attend TO THE TABLE again.

Project Director - Tibken & Co

An event to meet great speakers, develop good connections, professional arrangement by TO THE TABLE.
