Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026: the event where your gastronomic brand must be

From November 2 to 4, 2026, Hall 1 of the Fira Barcelona Gran Via Venue will host a new edition of Gastronomic Forum Barcelona, one of the major professional events for gastronomy, hospitality, and foodservice. The fair is moving to a new location to gain capacity and projection, with a program focused on tradition as a creative engine, new restaurant formats, and young talent. If you are thinking of exhibiting, it is a strategic opportunity to present your products, generate business contacts, and strengthen your brand before a professional audience.

A fair that grows in visitors, exhibitors, and opportunities

The last edition held, Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2025, exceeded 21,800 professional visitors, brought together 400 exhibiting companies, and featured the participation of more than 180 experts in a program of 190 gastronomic sessions. For 2026, the organization anticipates a new leap in scale with the move to the Gran Via Venue and the participation of more than 450 companies, an estimated growth of 12% compared to 2025.

Why your company should be at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026

Exhibiting at this fair goes far beyond setting up a stand: it’s a real opportunity to grow your business in a professional, specialized, and purchase-oriented environment. These are some of the reasons not to miss it:

1. Visibility before a 100% professional audience

Your brand will be in front of decision-makers from the HORECA sector, restaurant chains, hotels, distributors, importers, gourmet buyers, and specialized media. Gastronomic Forum Barcelona is an ideal showcase for launching new products, capturing qualified leads, and positioning yourself as a reference supplier in gastronomy and foodservice.

2. An environment for generating valuable contacts

The fair is designed to foster quality networking. In addition to direct contact at the stand, exhibitors can activate tools such as the Recommend Program, designed to invite current and potential clients within the Key Buyer profile and prepare commercial meetings before the event.

3. Tradition, innovation, and new restaurant models

The 2026 program will revolve around “Revisiting Tradition”, connecting culinary identity, innovation, and new restaurant models. The edition will focus on the territorial reinterpretation of cuisine, the revaluation of the dining room and gastronomic bar, the attraction of new audiences, and generational succession in cooking, dining room service, sommelierie, and gastronomic trades.

4. Innoforum Awards and professional recognitions

The Innoforum Awards 2026 will recognize innovation in the foodservice industry and food craftsmanship, with special attention to proposals that contribute to a more sustainable gastronomy. The fair will also host recognitions such as the Cuiner Award, the Josep Mercader Awards, The Baker, and the award for the Best Panettone in Spain.

Key activities and spaces at Gastronomic Forum 2026

Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026 will combine commercial exhibition, gastronomic content, and live experiences to attract professional profiles from across the entire value chain. Throughout its three days, visitors will be able to find:

Showcookings, tastings, and technical sessions with renowned chefs, experts, and professionals.
“Revisiting Tradition” Program, with territorial perspectives on culinary heritage and its role in contemporary cuisine.
Forum Lab, a space for training, trends, new formats, and young talent from Generation Z.
Specialized spaces for bakery, pastry, pizza, local products, sustainable food, and partner proposals.
Professional awards and competitions, including Innoforum, Cuiner Award, The Baker, and Best Panettone in Spain.

This approach makes the fair a vibrant meeting point, useful for generating business, observing trends, and creating memorable brand experiences within the stand.

Tips for standing out as an exhibitor

Book your space in advance: The 2026 edition will be held in a new location and is expected to grow in exhibition offerings. Additionally, the organization indicates Early Bird and special rates for applications submitted before May 1, 2026.
Design a stand that reflects your brand: In a gastronomic fair, the design must combine visual impact, functionality, tasting areas, and a comfortable route for visitors.
Offer experiences at your stand: Tastings, live demonstrations, product presentations, or small sensory activations help attract qualified traffic and differentiate you.
Activate your communication before the fair: Inform about your location, activity schedule, launches, and opening hours to multiply visits to your stand.
Prepare your sales team: Define objectives, key messages, and lead generation processes to convert each visit into a real business opportunity.
