Horeca Expo Overview

Horeca Expo is a long-running hospitality trade fair held each November at Flanders Expo in Ghent, and it has been running for over 30 years. It is often described as the largest event of its kind in the Benelux for the hotel, restaurant and café sector. The show covers professional kitchen equipment, food and beverages, hotel furnishings and interiors, coffee and bar solutions, and technology for food service businesses.

The Horeca Expo 2026 Exhibitors List and Attendees List from VisitorsList give you business contacts from both groups.
