Alimentaria activities
A long list of associated activities makes Alimentaria an exhibition where there is always something to see and learn: conferences, lectures, cookery demonstrations and displays make it impossible to leave the exhibition without having been steeped in cutting-edge food and beverage culture.
With each edition, Alimentaria reinvents its classic activities and creates new spaces for expression and learning. These are especially interesting for buyers from the food and hospitality channel.
