NEW YORK -- Three specialty food trade shows will co-locate with this year's International Hotel/Motel and Restaurant Show, which will be held Nov. 10-13 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center here.

Expo Comida Latina, All Asia Food and Kosherfest will shift to a Sunday-toMonday format to coincide with the traditional Saturday-to-Tuesday IH/M&RS. The new schedule will allow for an additional day of cross-market access for attendees of all four shows, show managers say. The event, which features 2,000 exhibitors, is expected to draw some 45,000 buyers, representing the largest showcase of its kind in North America.

"The co-location with Cultural Food New York, which includes Expo Comida Latina, All Asia Food and Kosherfest, will provide IH/M&RS attendees with an opportunity to discover products beyond their norm," IH/M&RS show manager Christian Falkenberg says. "This is truly a comprehensive market experience, with traditional food products and cutting-edge restaurant equipment featured at the IH/M&RS, and culturally diverse food and beverage products a few steps away."
