EquipHotel 2018, setting course for what's new in the hospitality and foodservice market

A true conveyor of experiences in terms of lifestyle and gastronomy, the hospitality and foodservice market never stops broadening our horizons. It is on the move, cultivates its difference and has become more uninhibited, mixing stories of the past, the present and the future. At the heart of the edifice, welcome, service and interior design are following the movement, in tune with a permanent quest for attractiveness, well-being and the unexpected.

With 50 years of experience, EquipHotel vibrates with the same dynamic, positioning itself as a true incubator to offer unprecedented technical solutions and accelerate the development of industry professionals. To do so, the 2018 edition of EquipHotel is turning into a true laboratory for innovation in hospitality and foodservice. To guide visitors along their journey, experiential satellites under the banner ?le lab? will focus on new technologies, new ways of consuming travel and the uses of tomorrow.

Exploring, testing and experimenting, but also inspiring: such is the vocation of EquipHotel 2018, which places its 2018 vintage under the banner of ?inspiration?. True to its DNA, the brand continues to bring out talent and showcase strong trends. As the human element is paramount in this service sector, the show provides relevant answers on its value. For visitors, this translates into an easier visit route and interactive networking to optimize contacts. EquipHotel 2018 reshuffles its multi-sector offer and redistributes it across five high-performing universes: Foodservice, Well-being, Design, Technology and Service. Thus clarified and optimized, the show, a prime platform for professional exchanges between decision-makers and influencers in hospitality and foodservice, aims to be an ever more effective tool. From Sunday 11 to Thursday 15 November 2018, it is truly the future of the CHR sector that will be on show at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles!

A new sectorization, as the generalist gives way to the multi-specialist
Positioned as a multi-specialist show, EquipHotel is rearranging and clarifying its offer to optimize the visitor journey. The signage 2018 is being rethought around five distinct hubs representing a total of 30 business sectors. In keeping with the coherence of the EquipHotel offer, each of them is allocated a dedicated space/territory: the Service hub in hall 7.1, the Foodservice hub in hall 7.2, the Technology hub in hall 7.3, the Well-being hub in hall 4 and a new Design hub in halls 2, 3 and 4.

The creation of this Design hub in the interconnected halls 2 and 3 is extended to part of hall 4, thus bringing together all the players in interior design/decoration and allowing a better reading of this essential offer that sets the mood. Thus, to optimize immersion in the show, the main entrance of EquipHotel 2018 will be through hall 2.
