AT TUTTOFOOD 2021 the new concept of Retail Plaza will make the meeting between producers and large-scale distribution & retail even more effective.

The synergies between producers on one side and large-scale distribution and Retail on the other have strongly contributed to the resilience of the agri-food industry during the Covid emergency, and beyond. And now the challenge will be to keep this prominent role during the recovery, facing all together the important changes that are awaiting the sector.

Since its very first editions, TUTTOFOOD has been the privileged venue where producers can meet with organized distribution. An exchange that this year will be even more intense and effective thanks to the new format of Retail Plaza, the Italian reference event for the debate on innovation in the sector: a schedule of meetings where top managers, academics and experts will outline the future of retail, analyse new trends and compare best practices. An approach that not only identifies trends, but also offers significant solutions so as to help companies respond proactively to this new normality: topics like the omnichannel and the new distribution formats leading to faster, but also more responsible, new consumption habits will be discussed. As well as digital transformation and sustainability, which represents an extraordinary opportunity for innovation. Another added value will be the numerous and qualified presence at the exhibition of buyers, who use to make themselves available at Retail Plaza to discuss issues that are rarely addressed in other contexts.

Within TUTTOFOOD 2021, taking place at fieramilano from 22 to 26 October, an essential opportunity to meet and discuss these issues will be Retail Plaza, that is increasingly establishing itself as the event where to take stock of innovation in large-scale distribution and retail. Many new features will be presented this year. The entire format has been rethought and produced by giving value to the specific skills of Business International – Fiera Milano Media, one of the reference partners in the sector for its ability to create quality content, networking opportunities and new business opportunities. This year’s edition will also benefit from the collaboration with Retail Institute Italy, a renowned industry association in our country, as well as from partnerships with the academic world – universities such as IULM and LIUC Castellanza – and with some of the main specialised research institutes such as IRI, Nielsen and Eumetra. Plus, it should also be underlined the contribution of media partnerships with the most important trade publications such as Largo Consumo, Markup, Gdoweek and Distribuzione Moderna.

This year, TUTTOFOOD will also be co-located with HostMilano, the world’s leading trade fair for hospitality and eating out, and MEAT-TECH, the event dedicated to technologies for meat processing and ready meals. The co-location will allow the event to broaden its visitor base with members from related supply chains.

TUTTOFOOD 2021 will be held at fieramilano from 22 to 26 October. For further information: a href=”http://www.tuttofood.it” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>www.tuttofood.it, @TuttoFoodMilano
