The Host 2025 schedule of events is beginning to take shape, and once again this edition will provide an opportunity to delve into and anticipate the most interesting trends with data, research, meetings with leading experts, as well as live experiences and exciting competitions.

However, must-see events will enrich all sectors. Performances by the world’s best baristas will emphasize gourmet coffees, coffee mixes and new extraction methods, while the greatest international pastry masters will amaze with their incredible creations blending bold ingredients and classic recipes, including through exciting championships and competitions.

There will be no shortage of starred chefs, established or emerging, but always successful, who will share their secrets in exciting as well as instructive show-cooking events, and pizza masters who will delight and fascinate the public with the most contemporary and innovative reinterpretations of this great icon of Italian cuisine, up to in-depth meetings with experts, organized in collaboration with partner associations.

Just to mention a few examples, the partnership with the Accademia Maestri del Lievito Madre and its insights into the myriad declinations of leavened products, starting with the ‘king’ panettone, increasingly seen as a cake for all seasons. Or again, SCA - Specialty Coffee Association will bring to Host 2025 excellence in coffee and the growing professionalism of baristas with world-class events that are already arousing great expectations among coffee lovers.
