Adding a creative new initiative, FHM has partnered with Bungkus Kaw Kaw, a beloved homegrown Malaysian brand, to create exclusive merchandise giveaways. More than just adding flair to the show floor, this collaboration highlights Malaysian creativity and supports local brands on an international stage.

The conversation continues beyond the exhibition halls. On 25 September 2025, the FutureFWD – Hospitality, Food & Beverage conference will take place at EQ Kuala Lumpur. Curated by Saladplate in partnership with FHM, the one-day international conference will bring together thought leaders, innovators, and visionaries to explore the forces shaping the next era of food and hospitality – from tech-driven transformation and sustainability imperatives to evolving consumer demands.

As part of FHM's ongoing commitment to giving back to the community, the 2025 edition continues the Food Share Initiative with the Food Aid Foundation. Each day, surplus food from the exhibition floor will be redistributed to community kitchens across Kuala Lumpur, demonstrating how the exhibition's positive impact extends beyond business into the wider community.

Trade professionals can still register on-site to experience FHM 2025. Walk-in admission is RM100 per person, valid for all four days of the exhibition, with access limited to the exhibition halls only.
