Theaterprogramma Horecava

TrendLAB Theater 

During Horecava 2026, the theater will be located next to the TrendLAB. The theater program offers a varied selection of symposiums for different target groups. This makes the TrendLAB environment a place where cross-pollination takes place, where the target group meets the right partners, and where knowledge is shared and experiences are exchanged.

In times of a changing world, a difficult labor market, new challenges, and smart technology, as a hospitality professional, you ask yourself: how do you deal with the changing guest? In the TrendLAB theater, we help you further, inspire you, and prepare you for the future during various sessions.
