TrendLAB Theater 

Het theater bevindt zich tijdens Horecava 2026 naast het TrendLAB. Het theaterprogramma biedt een gevarieerd aanbod aan symposia voor verschillende doelgroepen. Dit maakt de TrendLAB omgeving een plek waar kruisbestuiving plaatsvindt, de doelgroep de juiste partners ontmoet, waar kennis gedeeld wordt en ervaringen uitgewisseld.

In tijden van een veranderende wereld, een moeilijke arbeidsmarkt, nieuwe uitdagingen en slimme technologie stel je als horecaprofessional jezelf de vraag: hoe ga je om met de veranderende gast? In het TrendLAB theater helpen we je verder, inspireren we je en stomen je klaar voor de toekomst tijdens diverse sessies.
