IFA Catering

Every year in late summer, over 150,000 retailers, buyers and industry experts from the electronics industry gather at the IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung) in Berlin. As the world’s largest electronics trade fair, global electronic innovations are presented. In addition to the latest products from industry giants and start-ups, international speakers share their insights and visions on the stages.

Of course, visitors want to get to know as many of the new products as possible and, if possible, try them out. Perfect if this can be combined with a snack at your stand.

Convince IFA visitors

Stand out from over 2000 exhibitors. Whether in the B2B or B2C sector, whether trade visitors or private visitors: appealing finger food immediately catches the eye and is a good way to start a casual conversation..

Finger food and live cooking

Thanks to Excellent Event’s finger food and live cooking offer, you can impress visitors not only with innovations, but also with culinary experiences.

Our versatile menu offers a selection of finger food variations, hot and cold, with meat, vegetarian and vegan, as well as national and international appetizers.

We have more than 20 years of experience in catering, but are happy to take your wishes into account and put together a tailor-made offer of finger food canapés.

If you would like show cooking for the IFA, our chefs will prepare delicious dishes such as mini burgers, sushi and wok dishes for trade fair visitors live on site.

Catering with service – not just for stand parties

Excellent Event offers organizers a wide range of catering services for the evening stand parties at IFA to round off the event in style. Choose from a wide selection, from finger food and show cooking to varied buffet options. A comprehensive selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages is of course also available. As part of our full-service catering, we offer the option of professional staff who are not only responsible for delivery, but also take care of set-up and dismantling and serve guests with an appealing flying finger food service.

Buffet for employees

Not only the trade fair visitors, but also the trade fair team deserve first-class catering during the IFA.

For example, start the day with chocolate rolls and other sweet treats, Bircher muesli and half a filled mini roll, plus a specialty coffee, tea or juice.

At lunchtime, bowls offer good satiety and are not too heavy on the stomach. The vitamin-rich food also supports the immune system, which is often strained at trade fairs.

Of course, we are also happy to offer complete main courses with several courses.

For refreshment in the afternoon, a coffee break with sheet cake and pastries is often booked.

IFA Catering examples and prices

With over 150,000 trade visitors from more than 130 countries, colorful finger food platters are ideal. These should contain vegan and vegetarian appetizers as well as meat and, if necessary, fish components.

In most cases, finger food is intended more as a small accompaniment to the conversation and less to satisfy the appetite. You can therefore expect three to four, maximum five pieces per person.

Example of flying finger food

Grilled zucchini rolls with feta cheese and cashew nuts (vegetarian) for €2.60 per portion plus VAT.

Tabbouleh in a jar: parsley salad with couscous, garden cucumber, vine tomato, lemon & herbs (vegan) for €3.90 per item plus VAT.
