What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few culinary events combine a trade fair with an international team competition at this scale: Expogast pairs its exhibition floor, drawing over 200 exhibitors, with the Culinary World Cup, a competition bringing together more than 85 national teams from 74 countries

02

The mystery stays covered

That dual structure means visitors encounter both the commercial side of the food and hospitality industry and a genuine international cooking competition under one roof

03

The city starts moving

The four-year interval between editions, echoing an Olympic-style cycle, gives each edition added weight for competing teams and chefs, turning Expogast into a landmark event on the professional culinary calendar rather than an annual trade show
