THE PREMIER EVENT FOR THE HOSPITALITY AND CATERING INDUSTRY
From 3 to 6 February 2025, industry professionals will gather at the Riva del Garda Exhibition Centre for the 49th edition of Hospitality – Il Salone dell’Accoglienza, the leading international trade fair in Italy for the hospitality and catering industry. This unmissable event offers industry operators the chance to discover the latest trends and solutions tailored to their business needs.
With a unique and comprehensive offering, the event covers all segments and features over 800 carefully selected companies from across the industry, organised into four thematic areas: Contract & Wellness, Beverage, Food & Equipment and Renovation & Tech. Additionally, three special areas will be dedicated to craft beer, mixology and wine tourism, bringing a dynamic atmosphere to Hall B4 until Wednesday, 5 February.
Over the four days of the event, attendees will have numerous opportunities for networking and professional development, including workshops, masterclasses, tastings and cooking shows. Visitors can draw inspiration from the “Experiences and Sensitivity with Material Language” Exhibition, curated by ADI VTAA, which will focus on outdoor dining solutions, as well as explore innovative accessibility and inclusion solutions in the experiential space “DI OGNUNO”. The 2025 project, in collaboration with Village for All – V4A and Lombardini22, will explore the breakfast hall, offering ideas and tips on how making a few simple adjustments can help meet individual needs – or better yet, the needs of all.
There will also be an opportunity to explore the new frontiers of artificial intelligence in the AI Playground, an interactive space featuring AIbased solutions designed to enhance business processes and performance.
As always, the educational program will be rich and varied, featuring sessions from Hospitality Academy and professional development meetings with contributions from experts, opinion leaders and trade associations, taking turns on the main stage and across the eight thematic arenas.
This year sees the return of initiatives by FIC-Federazione Italiana Cuochi and NIC in School for hospitality school students, who, for the first time at a trade fair, will also take part in a Cooking Quiz.
Hospitality 2025 is a certified international event, a status that guarantees quality and reliability while encouraging the participation of international operators through a comprehensive Buyer Program – yet another opportunity to broaden business horizons.
