A real (starred) menu of appointments. Specially designed to find out what's cooking in two of HostMilano's key sectors, catering and white art. We start with the professional catering agenda, where FIPE - Italian Federation of Public Exercises will present Catering 4.0: a privileged Observatory which, through best practices, relationships, meetings, workshops, will shed light on a path, that of digitization, to a large extent still to be developed in the public business sector.

The appointment with the stage of excellence signed by APCI Associazione Professionale Cuochi is also dedicated to training: during the Horeca Digital Academy the world of Professional Catering will be the protagonist in all its forms to "teach" professionals how to reinvent their own professionalism, acquire new working methods and tools, in response to the new ways of consumption and the new relationship between customers and the world of Horeca. During the five days of the event, sector experts, restaurateurs, chefs, bakers, pastry chefs, entrepreneurs and start-ups will alternate on the stage.

Innovating, changing, growing will be the three keywords of FCSI Italia's presence at Host. A series of meetings and workshops on technical-scientific, managerial and economic issues will animate the association's "sustainable and safe stand", where Professional Members and Allied FCSIs, together with universities, institutions and market players, will present the opportunities to better meet the challenges of the New Normal.

In the heart of the fair, then, an important space where to get to know, meet, update oneself will be the one offered by the Food - Technology Lounge; the reference for Made in Italy technologies of Food and Horeca made available by ANIMA Confindustria Meccanica Varia with its associations (Aqua Italia, Assofoodtec, Fiac) and by EFCEM Italia, with the synergy of ICIM Group and Eurovent.

Finally, the collaboration with Federcuochi and its Academy Fic is renewed, ready to host in its stand industry experts, journalists, masterclasses and conferences of partner companies.

Equally rich is the menu designed for the macro sector dedicated to Pane Pizza Pasta. To begin, do not miss the initiatives put in place by the Bakery Association of Milan and the Provinces of Confcommercio Milano, protagonists with the Bakery Academy. In the association's stand, there will be laboratory sessions, meetings with food journalists and tastings, with a real 'gem': the Milanese Bakers will provide their contribution to the creation of the best stuffed sandwich, symbol of 100% Italian Street Food.

Cooking shows and training moments will also animate the stand of the pasta makers of A.P.Pa.Fre. - Fresh Pasta Producers Association of Small and Medium Enterprises which, during the five days of the event, will present their products with the aim of enhancing the issues related to the world of Pasta, from the choice of fresh and high quality raw materials, to the use of appropriate machinery and equipment.

For the second time, Panettone World Championship will return to the Rho Fiera pavilions; the world challenge by the Masters of Mother Yeast is dedicated to the dessert par excellence prepared in countries such as Spain, Singapore, Brazil, Argentina and, of course, Italy. To decide the name of the winner, a technical jury, a quality jury and a popular jury, which in their evaluations will emphasize the importance of the quality, value and uniqueness of traditional artisan panettone.

The menu dedicated to white art closes with Slices - Pizza Culture for Professionals (by Pizza and Pasta Italiana): seminars, cooking shows, debates and real “slices” of organizational culture and processing techniques dedicated to pizza professionals.
