HORECA FAIR 2026: The Hospitality Industry Meets in Izmir

One of Türkiye’s key meeting points for the hotel, restaurant, café, and professional kitchen industries, HORECA FAIR, is preparing to bring industry professionals together in Izmir for its 7th edition in 2026.

The 7th International HORECA FAIR – Hotel, Restaurant, Café, Bakery Equipment, Bakery Products, Ice Cream, Pastry Technologies and Out-of-Home Consumption Fair will take place from December 2–5, 2026, at Fuar İzmir in Gaziemir, Izmir.

A Wide Range of HORECA Products Under One Roof

HORECA FAIR brings together products, equipment, technologies, and services required by businesses operating across the hospitality and food-service industries, from hotels and restaurants to cafés, bakeries, and pastry shops.

The exhibition covers a broad range of professional solutions, including industrial kitchen equipment, cooking systems, ovens, dishwashers, food preparation units, service equipment, refrigeration technologies, hotel textiles, furniture, room equipment, and products for the out-of-home consumption market.

Bakery, pastry, ice cream, and baked-goods technologies are also among the major exhibition categories. This makes HORECA FAIR relevant not only to hotels and restaurants but also to companies involved in professional food production, catering, and food-service operations.

Technology Is Transforming the Hospitality Industry

Competition in the HORECA industry is no longer based solely on service quality. Energy-efficient professional kitchen systems, automation solutions, digital ordering and business management technologies, next-generation refrigeration systems, and sustainable equipment are becoming increasingly important in investment decisions.

HORECA FAIR provides industry professionals with an opportunity to discover new products and technologies, meet manufacturers and suppliers directly, and compare solutions for future investments.

The event also aims to connect manufacturers, importers, distributors, and suppliers with professional buyers from the hospitality and food-service industries.

A B2B Meeting Point for New Business Opportunities

One of the key aspects of HORECA FAIR is its focus on commercial networking.

Hotel managers, restaurant and café owners, purchasing managers, investors, chefs, food professionals, manufacturers, and suppliers have the opportunity to meet in the same business environment throughout the exhibition.

For the 2026 edition, the organizer has announced targets of more than 500 companies and company representatives and over 250,000 visitors. These figures should be understood as the organizer's targets for the 2026 event rather than confirmed attendance figures.

The fair can therefore offer valuable opportunities for manufacturers and brands seeking to reach new customers, establish distributor relationships, explore new markets, and develop international business partnerships.

Four Days of Industry Meetings at Fuar İzmir

HORECA FAIR 2026 will be held from December 2–5, 2026, at Fuar İzmir in the Gaziemir district of Izmir. According to the official event information, visiting hours are scheduled from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Several other major trade events are also scheduled at Fuar İzmir during the same period. The current İZFAŞ event calendar lists events including TTI İzmir, Pack & Plast Fair Türkiye, and GİTFEST during the first week of December, potentially creating an even broader business environment for visitors and exhibitors.

Izmir Welcomes Tourism and HORECA Professionals

As one of Türkiye’s leading tourism, hospitality, and gastronomy destinations, Izmir provides a strong setting for an international HORECA exhibition.

With a significant concentration of hotels, tourism businesses, restaurants, cafés, resorts, and new hospitality investments across the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, HORECA FAIR offers industry professionals an opportunity to explore equipment, technology, and supply solutions ahead of future tourism seasons.

From professional kitchens and hotel technologies to bakery equipment, pastry solutions, refrigeration systems, and out-of-home consumption products, HORECA FAIR 2026 will bring a broad hospitality ecosystem together in Izmir.
