Orbital rates this event Gold.

SIGEP World earns a Gold rating based on attendee quality, exhibitor ROI, and relevance to the restaurant industry. One of the top-rated events in this space — highly recommended for companies looking to grow their presence.

SIGEP World 2026 is an annual trade event focused on the gelato, pastry, bakery, and foodservice industries, drawing professionals from across the restaurant and hospitality supply chain. The show runs January 15 through 21 in Rimini, Italy, and pulls more than 10,000 attendees across its run. The emphasis is on community and networking, making it a practical stop for operators who want face time with suppliers, peers, and buyers rather than just a conference schedule to sit through. Rimini's Expo Centre hosts the bulk of it, and the affordable ticket price keeps the barrier low for independent operators and small teams. If you're in foodservice or restaurant supply and want a concentrated week of industry contact in southern Europe, this one is worth building a trip around.
