Talks & Tasting Stage

You wanted to see innovations, gain real insights and discover new taste experiences? Then the Talks & Tasting Stage was the place to be.

Following its successful prelude in 2025, the live experience entered the next round in 2026 – bigger, more interactive and with even more space for what was driving the industry: trends you could taste, talks that inspired and people who helped shape the future.

Live talks with true makers

Influencers, podcasters and industry experts brought fresh perspectives – and you were right in the middle of it instead of just watching. Discuss, ask questions, set impulses: your voice counted.

Tasting formats with a wow effect

Tangible innovation

Whether sustainable snacks, health trends or AI in product development – you experienced how the industry was changing and added your own perspective.

We served the trends that truly held great potential. The Talks & Tasting Stage delivered inspiration, exchange and taste experiences.
