WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Named after Arthur Erickson's twisting tower, the theme puts a turn on everything.

Nothing is quite as it appears. A culinary twist at the table, and cocktails with a twist of citrus. A plot twist takes place mid-afternoon to keep you on your toes. Paradox Hotel takes you through an elaborate journey of space, atmosphere, sound and food.

This full-day event offers two rounds of our traditional 8-minute meetings with suppliers. We also introduce a higher-tiered Hosted Buyer Program that connects you with Premier vendors in fully private meetings.
