Tavola 2026 is here
Tavola is just around the corner. And if you work in food retail, it’s definitely a place to be.
In the latest episode of The Retail Influencer by 20/CENT Retail, I share a short preview of what to expect from the upcoming edition of Tavola in Kortrijk (15–17 March), one of the most inspiring food trade shows in Europe.
And on Monday 16 March, I’ll have the pleasure of moderating two Tavola Talks sessions focusing on value creation and the transformation of retail.
11:45 – 12:15
Food Trends – Where Value is Really Created
With Ann Guillemyn (Colruyt) and Regine Van Tomme (Carrefour)
A discussion about where value is really created today in the food chain: product innovation, consumer expectations and retail strategies.
13:30 – 14:00
Winkelpunt Transformatie – Proximity, Digital and New Formats
With Elisa Servais (Retail Design Expert) and Jan Pollier (Carrefour)
A conversation about how stores are evolving through new formats, digital tools and proximity retail.
Both sessions will be simultaneously translated from Dutch into English.
