INTERNATIONAL MEAT FAIR
Innovation, technologies and products
10th EDITION
11-12-13 OCTOBER 2026
BOLOGNAFIERE
Bologna, ITALY
Over the last few years, the meat sector has undergone significant advancements, propelled by innovative practices and cutting-edge technologies that have revitalised the field. In 2013, Ecod created iMEAT®, which has become a globally recognised event for meat operators.
This is the only international trade show in Italy completely for sector professionals in the meat industry, and designed to help them meet B2B suppliers of all types of sector-specific products.
iMEAT® is a reference point for meeting, discussion, and professional updating for those involved, with a rich schedule of events, cooking demonstrations and meetings.
> iMEAT HAS A NEW LOCATION
The 2026 edition (our tenth!) will be held at BolognaFiere: one of the most important exhibition centres in Italy, located in a strategic position in the “Food Valley”. It’s easy to reached from anywhere in Italy or abroad, and its welcoming infrastructure can improve the visitor experience while making it easier for sector professionals to meet each other and do business.
The change in venue was necessary since this trade show is growing every year. It’s an all-around improvement, which means being able to keep pace with our rapidly changing world and the need to provide a complete experience to help build the future of our sector.
