IEG, SIGEP WORLD ANNOUNCES NEW DATES FOR 2026 EDITION

The event will take place at Rimini Expo Centre (Italy) from Friday 16^th to Tuesday 20^th January.

• A strategic choice for exhibitors and visitors of the international event dedicated to gelato, pastry, bakery, coffee, and pizza.

Rimini (Italy) 11 March 2025 - Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) announces the new dates for SIGEP WORLD in 2026. The international exhibition for gelato, pastry, bakery, coffee, and pizza will be held at Rimini Expo Centre, Italy, from Friday 16^th to Tuesday 20^th January. SIGEP WORLD thus confirms its role as the first major event of the year for the foodservice sector, a reference point for trends and innovation.

In fact, in line with the one-month anticipation announced by the Dubai Gulfood for the 2026 edition - dictated by the demands of Ramadan - SIGEP WORLD has also chosen to revise its calendar. This decision has a dual objective: on one hand, to avoid overlaps with other international events, providing exhibitors with a more sustainable management of trade fair appointments; on the other hand, to maximize business opportunities by ensuring an optimal influx of both national and international visitors.

This is therefore a strategic adjustment that confirms IEG's focus, for all its products, on the global dynamics of the sector.

Once again in 2026, in an area traditionally dedicated to innovation and hospitality themes such as Rimini, SIGEP WORLD will offer a complete overview, from products, ingredients and services to equipment, furnishings, packaging solutions and technologies.

Companies will showcase and present the future of the industry to buyers arriving from all over the world, while the major global players in the sectors represented at the event will offer exclusive moments - conferences, championships, demonstrations and so on - that will turn the spotlight on future trends and unexplored tastes.
