Inside the Biggest KI Showroom Ever

The National Restaurant Association Show’s Kitchen Innovations Showroom has never been filled with more of foodservice’s most forward-thinking and cutting-edge innovations than it has this year.

Since the show was canceled the last two years, the expansive exhibition features awardees not only from 2022 but from 2021 and 2020 as well. Trends among recipients include a focus on automation, efficiency, safety improvements, sustainability and more.

“Each year, I’m eager to visit the KI Showroom to see how equipment advancements like these are contributing to improving operations by increasing efficiency and productivity and ultimately supporting business growth,” says Tom Cindric, president of Winsight Exhibitions.

Attendees have several opportunities to learn more about the 31 KI recipients, including an Innovation Theater session and KI Showroom tours. Here’s how to participate:
