Care & Cure Symposium

Movement in Healthcare: Balancing Essence & Efficiency

For healthcare professionals with a passion for hospitality, food, and future-proof care.
At a time when healthcare is facing major challenges, standing still is not an option.

How do we combine workable processes with genuine attention?
Healthy eating despite work pressure?
Innovation with humanity?

During Horecava 2026, we invite you on Tuesday, 13 January 2026 to be inspired, surprised, and challenged in a special visitor journey for healthcare professionals involved in food, hospitality, and facility management. Under the theme “Movement in Healthcare: Essence & Efficiency in Balance,” you will discover how smart organization and warm care can go hand in hand. From thoughtful food concepts to hospitality innovations, from circular thinking to sensory experiences—this day offers insights, examples, and encounters that matter.

RESERVE MY SPOT!*

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