The Halal industry has been growing at an exponential pace over the last few decades. This growth has resulted in opportunities of collaboration among numerous stakeholders which has played a pivotal role in bringing people together to showcase the great work that is being undertaken within the Halal sector. The industry has also provided several platforms for networking, festivals, exhibitions and educational events for both consumers, traders and producers of halal food nationally and internationally.
Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic brought a pause to many Halal industry events; however, since the series of lockdowns have ended, numerous events have now resumed and all stakeholders are back on the circuit .
HFIC supports the development and advancement of the Halal ecosystem at a national level. We also encourage active participation from consumers, producers and suppliers of Halal food to make all the events fruitful and constructive for all and sundry.
Please note below some great events that have been scheduled for the coming year. Key international events are also noted towards the bottom of the list.
This page will be updated as and when events are updated or become known. Please email hello@hfic.org.uk to submit details of an event.
We look forehead in seeing you at the events and be sure to drop us a line on how you felt the events went and do not forget tag us (@hfic) on your socials.
