visit

Assess how this option fits your objectives.

Best for

Independent restaurant, bar, cafe and hotel F&B managers from Friuli Venezia Giulia and neighbouring regions who source kitchen equipment, food, beverages or services and can cover travel plus one or two hotel nights in Pordenone.

Min. budget

$350.00

Timeline

3-4 weeks for registration, flights and a hotel room; 6-8 weeks if a Schengen visa is needed.

Assess how this option fits your objectives.

Best for

Equipment manufacturers, food and beverage producers and distributors targeting hotel, restaurant and catering buyers in Northeast Italy and adjacent markets such as Austria and Slovenia, where Horeca Next is positioned as the leading regional trade show.

Min. budget

$2,200.00

Timeline

3-4 months for stand booking, design, build and freight; longer if custom build or machinery imports are involved.

Risks

Electrical, rigging and freight forms must be submitted before the build-up window or build access can be delayed.

skip

Assess how this option fits your objectives.

Best for

Suppliers without Italian distribution or service capability, and buyers who already purchase through established Italian foodservice distributors and do not need to evaluate equipment in person.

Timeline

Not applicable for 2027; monitor Horeca Next announcements for future editions.
