Where Hospitality
and gastronomy become opportunities
Hotelga 2026: Expanded show space
HOTELGA is Argentina’s leading event for the hospitality and restaurant industry, and the key meeting point for the sector. It brings together industry leaders, major suppliers, and decision-makers to discover innovations, new launches, and trends that drive the development of the HORECA (hotels, restaurants, and catering) market.
As the industry continues to evolve, HOTELGA strengthens its growth, supported by the strong results of recent editions.
The 2026 edition introduces an expanded exhibition area, with one pavilion dedicated exclusively to hotel suppliers and another to gastronomy suppliers—enhancing its reach, federal character, and role as a strategic platform accompanying the sector’s transformation.
A comprehensive experience that combines a trade show, top quality content, and qualified networking opportunities. Conferences, live demonstrations, competitions, and themed spaces create an ideal environment for generating quality contacts, strengthening brands, and boosting business opportunities.
Federal and strategic platform for hospitality and gastronomy.
HOTELGA is the leading national platform for the hospitality and gastronomy industry, with strong federal representation and regional reach. Organized by FEHGRA, AHT, and Messe Frankfurt Argentina, the exhibition brings together decision-makers, suppliers, institutions, and industry leaders in a professional environment focused on business development.
Since its repositioning, HOTELGA has seen sustained growth in visitors, exhibitors, and exhibition space, consolidating its position as a key platform for accompanying the transformation of the sector and promoting opportunities throughout the HORECA value chain.
With the addition of a new pavilion, the 2026 edition will expand its scope and capacity, dedicating one pavilion exclusively to gastronomic suppliers and another to hotel suppliers.
