The Good Food and Wine Show opens at Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre today, Friday July 16. We talk with James Laing, Group Exhibition Director of Diversified Exhibitions and the man in charge of this nationally renowned expo of the country’s top gourmand producers and growers, celebrity chefs, quaffable wines and obscure seasonings.

Now in its 9th year, the Good Food and Wine Show has tracked the explosion in interest in what we eat and drink in Australia, riding the wave of fascination in down to earth cooking techniques and as gourmet trends, to become one of the country’s largest consumer exhibitions. Opening across Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide the Show welcomes 140,000 people through its doors each year, exposing them to new ideas for their kitchens and teaching them new techniques. The business is growing every year and James discusses the dynamics of managing a challenging consumer venture in a booming industry.
