EVEX returns in May


EVEX, the European Vending Experience, returns this year with a unique format. It will take place inside the Venditalia trade show from 11 to 14


May in a dedicated area. EVEX is organised by the European Vending & Coffee Service Association (EVA) in cooperation with the Italian Vending Association (CONFIDA) and Venditalia. EVEX will provide four days of business experiences, with


several keynote speeches, conferences, workshops and showcases per day. Daily updates on the activities of the EVA as well as the national vending associations are planned along with ‘speed dating’ possibilities and detailed information on the vending market across Europe. The EVEX area at Venditalia is designed to be an interactive and


insightful zone with knowledge exchange and business networking at its forefront. The EVA and national association booths will be located in this area, offering the opportunity to find out more about local trends and developments, while a number of stands from among the membership will also be featured. The EVEX zone will be equipped with a bar counter where coffee


experiences can be demonstrated, showing the different cultures as well as preferences in the industry. EVEX aims to provide an easy and friendly means to meet


fellow professionals, and therefore many moments in the daily schedule are designed to help attendees meet new suppliers, operators and find potential business partners over some food and drinks. The EVA is working on a number of cocktails for international operators so best practices between peers can be shared and discussed. As in previous editions, EVEX will of course incorporate a gala evening.
