The 16th Ho-Re-Ca Hybrid Fairs of Tastes GASTexpo in Ljubljana has come to a successful close

This year's fair was certainly a fair of excesses and new trends.

More than 18,000 visitors were offered insights and business opportunities in the field of catering equipment, hotels, and gastronomy.
New dimensions of business networking and expansion of B2B business contacts were also provided this year with the NEW – HIBRID trade fair,which combines the classic and digital trade fair and represents a "unique" event and future in the trade fair industry in the region.

More than 400 exhibitors from the following sectors gathered at the Ljubljana Exhibition Centre: gastronomy, beverages, coffee, confectionery, bakery, catering and hotel equipment, ice cream, wine, and beer. For the first time, they also presented themselves in their own showrooms on the digital platform.

The digital platform offered a wide range of content, from exhibitors' promotional videos to live streaming and the announcement of the winner of Slovenia's best pizza chef competition.

With impressive visitor numbers and digital content views, the organisers know we are on the right track.

The dates for the next Fairs of Tastes have already been set. It will take place from 31 January to 3 February 2024.
