Catering and Tourism: The Northern Adriatic Show Returns in 2026 with 120 Exhibitors
The National Show of the Northern Adriatic, scheduled from 26 to 29 January in Caorle and Jesolo, has represented the main reference for operators in the sector for over fifty years, particularly in the catering industry of North Eastern Italy. Organized by Venice Expomar Caorle and the Jesolana Hoteliers Association, with the support of the municipalities of Caorle and Jesolo, the Bilateral Body, and the patronage of the Veneto region and the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts, the event confirms itself as a strategic moment for companies linked to catering, welcome, and quality tourism.
Also in the 2026 edition, there will be space for show cooking at the Salone dell’Alto Adriatico
The demand for exhibition spaces far exceeded availability, confirming the Show’s position as a showcase of excellence for 300 brands and over 130 exhibitors. The 6,000 square meters of PalaExpoMar of Caorle, with ample parking and a stone’s throw from the picturesque village known as “Little Venice”, will be the stage for four intense days, which for the first time will begin on Monday to better align with the main national fairs.
Operators and Sector: A Strategic Meeting Point
According to the president of Venice Expomar Caorle, Raffaele Furlanis, «A result that is the fruit of the work done over the years for an event that always manages to bring together the quality of the exhibitors on one side and the events on the other. Operators at the Fair will find companies from the horeca world known in Italy and abroad. This means that the Northern Adriatic National Exhibition confirms itself once again and even more as a point of reference for companies linked to hospitality and catering. But I would say more generally for tourism itself, given that it continues to be a moment of meeting and discussion (also for institutions and trade associations) on the main issues, necessary to outline and define the near future of this sector which is so important for the regional and national economy».
The Northern Adriatic Show allows for excellent networking between horeca operators
From this perspective, the fair is not only a moment of commercial exposure, but also a platform for networking and exchange of skills between operators on the Veneto coast, national and international buyers, industry professionals, and institutional representatives.
Training and Updating: Courses, Masterclasses, and Conferences
The Show pays particular attention to operator training. In collaboration with the Bilateral body, a rich program of courses, seminars, debates, and conferences will be offered, aimed at catering, hospitality, and tourism professionals. The masterclass gratuite will allow participants to update themselves on new market trends, on the most advanced technologies for restaurant or hotel management, and on strategies to respond to customer needs in an increasingly effective manner. The training and educational offer allows you to combine technical and strategic updating with moments of direct discussion between professionals in the sector.
During the Show, there will be training sessions and Masterclasses
