GastroPan, the most important specialized exhibition in Romania dedicated to the bakery, pastry, confectionery, gelato, milling, coffee and HoReCa industries, has been the meeting point for professionals who shape the future of taste, innovation and business in the field for over 16 years.
The 2026 edition marks an important moment in the evolution of the event: the exhibition will take place from 19-21 March at the Redal Expo center in Sibiu. Returning to this city represents a strategic step – a rapprochement with specialists from all regions of the country and, at the same time, an opportunity to create new valuable connections between exhibitors and visitors.
The decision to change the location came as a direct response to requests from the public: visitors seeking easier access from various parts of the country and exhibitors interested in expanding their partnership network in central Romania – and beyond.
The goal of GastroPan remains the same: to provide a good environment for the exchange of ideas, testing of innovations, launching products and strengthening business relationships in the food sector. This mission is supported by a modern and flexible space, but also by the advantageous geographical positioning of the city of Sibiu.
Sibiu and the advantages of organizing the exhibition in the center of the country
The choice of Sibiu as the new location for GastroPan is not at all accidental. With a modern urban setting and a rich gastronomic and tourist tradition, Sibiu offers exactly the mix of authenticity, refinement and accessibility that we are looking for for an event of the size of GastroPan. Located right in the center of the country, the city facilitates the movement of visitors and exhibitors from all regions of Romania, being easily accessible, both by road, rail or air.
Redal Expo offers generous exhibition spaces, ideal for an efficient and flexible organization: interactive stands, areas dedicated to live demonstrations, competitions and other related events. All of this takes place in a professional, well-equipped and comfortable environment, ready to support memorable experiences, both for exhibitors and visitors.
A major advantage of the new location is the large parking lot, located right next to the exhibition center. With hundreds of spaces available, it facilitates both visitor access and exhibitors' logistics operations – from unloading machinery and equipment to transporting raw materials and products.
Moving the GastroPan exhibition to Sibiu is a strategic step, aimed at bringing the event closer to active industry communities, improving the experience of all participants and strengthening the connection with a city open to innovation, performance and excellence.
The advantages of organizing the event in Sibiu are:
- Central positioning – easy access from all regions of the country, including for international visitors
- Parking with hundreds of parking spaces in front of the exhibition center
- International airport nearby – direct connections with several European cities, ideal for international visitors and exhibitors
- Modern exhibition space – generous halls, modularity, infrastructure adapted to large-scale events

- Complete logistical facilities – extensive parking, loading-unloading areas, auxiliary services for exhibitors
- Reference tourist city – varied hotels, local gastronomy, cultural attractions for participants
