GELATISSIMO
Gelatissimo will be opening its doors for the
fifth time in Stuttgart on 3-7 February 2018.
Its partnership with Intergastra, a leading Eu-
ropean trade fair in the hotel and gastronomy
sector, has proven fruitful over the years.
Stuttgart’s exhibition grounds have expanded to
accommodate the continued growth of this in-
dustry gathering in 2018. Gelatissimo and Inter-
gastra will combine to cover a total of 115,000
square metres, 15,000 of which will focus ex-
clusively on the latest products, hot trends, and
cool ideas in the artisanal gelato sector.
“Hall 10 will be ready by the time Gelatissimo
kicks off,” affirms Ulrich Kromer, CEO and ex-
ecutive board spokesman at Messe Stuttgart.
“Our growing exhibition grounds are offering new
opportunities to Gelatissimo and its exhibitors.
The gelato industry will be right at home in the
space we’re adding, and the expansion of our
western entrance will facilitate additional possi-
bilities and an optimal infrastructure.”
Thanks to Messe Stuttgart’s additional hall,
the new plans for Gelatissimo and Intergastra
2018 will further enhance the topical variety
that already sets this duo apart from the com-
petition. “Exhibitor demand is high at Gelatis-
simo, which is why we’re making even more
room for all the cold treats it will put on dis-
play next year,” reports Markus Tischberger,
project manager for Gelatissimo. “The range
of subjects in artisanal gelato is always grow-
ing, and the considerable interest in them
made our decision to expand an easy one.”
Europe’s gelato specialists, shop owners, and
cafe managers are sure to encounter all of the
topics of interest to them. One key topic on
the exhibition stands will be the new varieties
of gelato which manufacturers and gelato
shops will offer in summer 2018. So questions
like which flavours are “in” at the moment,
and what modern gelato shops customers are
looking for, is the focus of the largest gelato
trade fair north of the Alps.
In the adjacent Hall 8, the Stuttgart Coffee
Summit will also be taking place in its own
separate space. The close proximity of these
two growing segments of the to-go market
promises to give both gelato and gastronomy
professionals fresh ideas for helping their busi-
nesses succeed.
