Care & Cure Symposium

Inspiration for food, hospitality and future-proof healthcare

For healthcare professionals with a passion for hospitality, food and future-proof care. The healthcare sector is constantly evolving. Changing needs, staff shortages, new technologies and a growing focus on health and sustainability call for smart choices and fresh ideas.

How can we ensure that food contributes to health and wellbeing? How do we continue to make room for personal attention and hospitality? And which innovations can help healthcare organisations prepare for the future?

On Tuesday 12 January, we invite healthcare professionals to join a special visitor journey at Horecava. A day full of inspiration for everyone involved in food, hospitality and facility management within the healthcare sector.

Discover new insights, practical examples and developments relevant to healthcare today and tomorrow. From innovative food concepts and hospitality solutions to sustainability, health and guest experience. A day to gain knowledge, exchange experiences and connect with other professionals from the sector.

*Please note: the programme for the Care & Cure Symposium is in Dutch.
