🏢 Informa Markets exhibitor directory scraper: Gulfood

Get every exhibitor at Gulfood, with booth locations, categories, websites, and social links, ready for your spreadsheet in minutes.

Informa Markets exhibitor directory scraper pulls the full exhibitor list from Gulfood, one of the world's largest food trade shows. It runs fast and reliably without needing a browser or any login, so you get clean, structured company data on the first try.

This actor currently supports Gulfood only. Informa Markets runs hundreds of trade shows worldwide on several different, unrelated backend systems, and only Gulfood's exhibitor directory has been verified to work with this actor. See the FAQ below for what happened when other Informa shows were checked.

🔍 What does Informa Markets exhibitor directory scraper do?

This actor visits the Gulfood exhibitor directory and pulls one row per company: name, stand and hall location, country, description, product categories, website, and social links. Point it at a Gulfood edition slug like gulfood-2026 and it works through the entire directory automatically.

Run it on demand from the Apify Console, schedule it before the show opens, or call it through the API to feed your own CRM or lead list.

• I am a market researcher tracking which companies exhibit at Gulfood year over year, mapping category coverage and competitive presence on the show floor.

❓ FAQ

Does it get blocked scraping Gulfood?

No. The scraper connects directly and reliably without needing residential IPs or a browser session, so runs complete quickly and consistently.

Does it extract private contact details?

No. It only collects information exhibitors have published in their public directory listing. Email and phone are almost never published in this directory, so those fields are typically left out of the row entirely rather than filled with a placeholder.

How fresh is the data?

Every run pulls live from Gulfood's current directory at the moment you run it, so stand assignments and exhibitor lists reflect the latest published state.

Which Informa Markets shows are supported?

Only Gulfood is currently supported. Informa Markets operates hundreds of trade shows worldwide, and several were checked before building this actor: Arab Health runs on a different platform that requires a login, World of Concrete runs on the Map Your Show platform (already covered by a separate actor in this collection), and Cityscape Global's exhibitor list is hosted on a thin third-party page with very limited fields. Gulfood was the only show found with a full, public, directly accessible exhibitor directory. Need another Informa show supported? Open a ticket on the Issues tab and we will take a look.
