Buyers arrive with shopping lists and exhibitors with new lines, and the result is a marketplace that moves real business. As a biennial event, it gives the community a regular moment to come together. The guest list runs deep, with something like 92000 attendees expected on site. It is staged by Messe Stuttgart, whose experience shows in every detail of the programme. Everything comes together under the roof of Istanbul Expo Center, a venue that handles events of this size with ease.

Istanbul rounds out the appeal of IBAKTECH 2026, offering the rare mix of easy logistics and a genuine sense of somewhere worth visiting.

If it touches bakery or anything across Bakery, Bakery Industry, Bakery Equipment and Food & Beverage, chances are it is on a stand here somewhere. Everything about the layout nudges you toward conversation, from the stand design to the shared break spaces. Count on 330+ exhibitors lining the aisles, each with something new to show and someone ready to talk shop. With 30,000 m² of exhibition space, the event provides a spacious, well-organised environment for business.
