Hospitality 2026: Fifty editions of vision and innovation for hospitality and food service

From 2 to 5 February 2026, the Riva del Garda exhibition centre will host the 50th edition of Hospitality – Il Salone dell’Accoglienza, Italy’s most comprehensive event for the hospitality and foodservice industry.

Organised by Riva del Garda Fierecongressi, the exhibition is a benchmark for professionals across the sector. According to the TEHA Group 2025 Report, hospitality and foodservice generate over €107 billion in turnover, €53.8 billion in added value, and employ more than 1.5 million people.

Spread across more than 45,000 m2, the exhibition showcases every segment through four thematic areas Beverage, Contract & Wellness, Food & Equipment, Renovation & Tech plus dedicated zones for mixology, wine and craft beer: RPM-Riva Pianeta Mixology, Spazio Vignaiolo e Solobirra. Open-air hospitality takes centre stage, confirming its role as one of the market’s most dynamic segments.

Companies, producers, distributors and suppliers will present the best solutions for industry operators, who can also take part in networking sessions, talks, experiential activities, show cooking and the Hospitality Academy training program.

Running through the entire event, accessibility and inclusivity find expression in the project DI OGNUNO (FOR ALL), this year themed “Possible Horizons”: an immersive path that interprets outdoor travel as a metaphor for life and tourism, where inclusion is not a fixed destination but an open, continuously evolving and transforming horizon. The aim is to offer practical guidance on making facilities accessible, even with just a few small adjustments.

All details for planning your visit to Hospitality are available at www.hospitalityriva.it and via the Hospitality Digital Space app.
