The Ho.Re.Ca. supply chain gathers in Turin

A unique platform combining training, networking, and business opportunities for professionals in the restaurant and hospitality industries: from March 16 to 18, 2025, Horeca Expoforum returns to Torino Lingotto Fiere.

Now in its second edition, the event has already become a benchmark for the Ho.Re.Ca. (Hotellerie, Restaurant, and Catering) supply chain, which in Italy includes approximately 332,000 companies in the food service sector alone.

With over 200 exhibitors and more than 13,000 square meters of exhibition space, the event will provide growth and learning opportunities for restaurateurs, hoteliers, and buyers. Among its strengths is the rich schedule of over 100 events organized in collaboration with leading national associations for pastry, cuisine, pizza, and coffee.

Highlights include original activities such as Latte Art, Cupping, and Coffee Sensory Analysis, celebrating emerging talents and culinary skills through masterclasses, workshops, tastings, talks, and prestigious competitions.

Thanks to a B2B meeting agenda, attendees can establish strategic partnerships, identify new collaboration opportunities, and stay updated on key trends in areas such as mixology, sweet and savoury products, coffee, professional equipment, furniture, and digital solutions.

“Horeca Expoforum is a concrete opportunity to gain tools, contacts, and ideas to innovate and grow in an increasingly competitive market,” says Gàbor Ganczer, CEO of GL events Italia.

Why Turin?

The choice of Turin as the venue is no coincidence: the city, a hub for major sports, cultural, and scientific events, offers an ideal setting for this exhibition.

With its growing tourism sector and rich gastronomic heritage, Piedmont stands out as one of the most promising regions in Italy for Ho.Re.Ca. operators.

Attendance is free for visitors upon registration on HORECA EXPO, the event’s official website, available from January 2025
