Hospitality operators are increasingly adopting automation and smart technologies while seeking to preserve guest experience. In November 2026 Salzburg hosts a trade fair that gathers product launches, service solutions and operational tools for professional buyers.
Dates and venue for Alles Für Den Gast 2026
Alles Für Den Gast 2026 runs from 7 to 10 November 2026 at the Messezentrum Salzburg. The venue address is Am Messezentrum 1, 5020 Salzburg, Austria. The event occupies multiple halls within the exhibition centre and includes organised access and parking facilities.
Key figures for the edition
Official figures list 719 exhibitors and around 36,000 industry professionals. The occupied hall area totals 45,200 square metres. Those metrics indicate the event scale and the regional reach across the Danube Alpine Adriatic area.
Central theme and technology focus
The 2026 theme is “Die Neue Gastlichkeit - KI & Mensch”. The focus highlights how artificial intelligence and automation can support daily operations while keeping human service at the centre. The show features kitchen automation, management systems and apps designed to streamline planning and free staff time for guest-facing tasks.
Exhibitor and visitor profile in Salzburg
The exhibition gathers manufacturers of hotel equipment, food suppliers, software vendors for restaurants and regional distributors. Attendees include hotel groups, restaurateurs, caterers and purchasing managers. For exhibitors the fair provides direct access to buyers and operational decision makers from the Alpine and neighbouring markets.
How to prepare B2B prospecting at the show
Use the exhibitor portal and digital planning tools to schedule meetings in advance and to advertise on-stand demonstrations. Focus demonstration content on operational problem solving and prepare concise commercial offers to send within a fixed follow-up timeline. Assign staff to technical demos and to collect qualified leads with a minimal scoring form to prioritise post-show outreach.
