In February 2026, Bremen will once again become the meeting point for the seafood and gastronomy sectors, as fish international and Gastro Ivent open their doors together in the exhibition halls of Messe Bremen. From Sunday to Tuesday, 22–24 February 2026, visitors can explore two complementary fairs under one roof, fostering new business contacts and knowledge exchange. Founded in 1988, fish international is Germany’s only trade fair dedicated to fish and seafood. Under new project management for the first time in 2026, the event will feature exhibitors from import, export, wholesale, processing, packaging, aquaculture, and technology. The forum will again provide a platform for discussing the future of the industry.
At the same time, Gastro Ivent will be held for the seventh time, serving as a central meeting place for professionals from catering, hotels, communal catering, and retail in north-west Germany. The exhibition highlights the latest food and beverage trends, kitchen technologies, digital tools, and sustainable catering concepts. The programme also features three national coffee championships, tastings, and trend talks. Together, the two fairs create a key hub where seafood professionals and gastronomy experts can meet, network, and discover innovations. For more information, visit fishinternational.de
