WOFEX UNIVERSITY 2026
Everyone is aware of the importance of WOFEX (World Food Expo) to the country’s food and beverage industry. The exhibition is the annual gathering place of buyers and sellers. Now, with the intent of providing advanced education to both the industry and academe, WOFEX is taking its year-round series of training programs through its WOFEX University.
WOFEX University offers excellent learning opportunities in different areas of food entrepreneurship, baking and culinary arts beyond what is learned from a classroom. By inviting industry practitioners and top-notch speakers with wealth of first-hand experience and expertise, the learning is richer, the sharing more valuable and the content more relevant for participants who sign up for the courses offered during all WOFEX shows nationwide.
