ABOUT THE FAIR
GASTROTARGI SMAKKihas established itself as a major trade fair for the gastronomy and HoReCa industry (Hotels, Restaurants, Cafés, and Catering). It serves as a central platform for innovation, knowledge exchange, and business development. The name SMAKKi symbolises taste, quality, and professional expertise – values that are consistently emphasized throughout the event. The fair is organized by Lentewenc Sp. z o.o. Ltd. in cooperation with WorldFood Poland, lending the event both depth of content and international reach.
The venue is EXPO XXI in Warsaw, one of Poland’s most modern exhibition centres. Held every two years, the trade fair brings together key topics in the industry: cutting-edge technologies, sustainable solutions, culinary trends, and targeted networking opportunities.
The concept of the fair is clearly tailored to the needs of industry professionals. It includes high-end equipment for bars, cafés, restaurants, and hotels, specialties from the food and beverage sector, as well as solutions for cold chain logistics and supply. Exhibitors come from all relevant areas – from producers and distributors to technology providers and specialized service companies in the hospitality industry.
A particular highlight is the range of integrated competitions and formats, including the “Złoty Karczoch” for vegan cuisine, the Polish Latte Art Championship, the “Cup of Poland” for specialty coffee, and the MASTERS street food format. The “Liderki Branży HoReCa” conference offers valuable insights with its focus on sustainable business practices and values-driven leadership.
International diversity is also showcased in the national pavilions, where top chefs and producers present culinary specialties from around the world. This global aspect strengthens the fair’s international appeal and highlights Poland’s role as a hub for innovation in the European gastronomy scene.
The main target group includes decision-makers from the gastronomy, hotel, and food retail sectors – including restaurant owners, hotel managers, baristas, and procurement professionals. Free admission for registered trade visitors facilitates access and encourages professional exchange.
With its central location, EXPO XXI in Warsaw provides ideal conditions. Its modern infrastructure and excellent public transport connections ensure a smooth experience for both domestic and international participants. For anyone wanting to stay at the forefront of the HoReCa industry, GASTROTARGI SMAKKi is a must-attend event.
