Venditalia 2026 is ready to return.
Mark your calendar: from 6 to 8 May 2026, the leading international event for the vending industry will take place for the first time at Rimini Expo Centre, one of Europe’s most modern, accessible and business-oriented exhibition venues.
Innovation, technology and evolving consumer habits are redefining automatic distribution. Venditalia 2026 is where these changes take shape, offering a global perspective on the present and next directions of the vending industry.
This upcoming edition will be the largest, most international and most innovative ever: over 300 brands, 30,000 sqm of exhibition space and 8 halls dedicated to cutting-edge technologies, advanced design and new consumer experiences. For three days, Rimini will become the global meeting point for the vending ecosystem, bringing together manufacturers, operators, brands and decision-makers from all over the world.
The 2026 edition is further strengthened by the synergy between CONFIDA and Italian Exhibition Group, combining deep industry expertise with a strong international exhibition network. The result is a highly business-driven event designed to foster connections, insights and growth opportunities.
The exhibition is structured around six thematic areas, covering the entire vending value chain and offering a comprehensive overview of technologies, products and services shaping the market’s evolution.
Beyond the exhibition, workshops, talks and dedicated thematic areas will explore the trends transforming the industry — from artificial intelligence and digital payments to user experience and new consumption models. From smart hotels and coworking spaces to retail and 24/7 services, Venditalia 2026 shows how vending is expanding into new environments and unlocking fresh business opportunities.
Think Automatic. The future of vending starts here.
