With one week to go until the eighth edition of HBNN19, we can certainly reveal that a packed and exciting day program awaits our visitors on Monday 30 September.
New exhibition components
Beer & Food Street
Beer is increasingly being added or combined with snacks or complete meals, so you can go in all directions with beer. In our new beer & food street you will meet brewers who can explain everything about the most diverse beer and food combinations. From tips, to tasting and discovering which beer matches best with a dish or snack.
experience table
Our newest addition is the Experience Table, a table where visitors to the fair can follow free mini-masterclasses from exhibitors via headphones. The guests are included in the exhibitor's story. From tea sommelier to barista school and from cocktail tasting to staff bonding and tasting the latest soft drinks. Come to our Experience table and join us for inspiring mini-masterclasses for free.
Auction Local Kilo's Sliding
Come and bid on the beautiful regional products of farmers and horticulturists in the area and get to know these versatile entrepreneurs at the auction of 'Lokaal Kilo's Schuiven'. In the field of food, trust is becoming increasingly important. People find it important to know where their food comes from, for example what kind of life their meat has had. A solution for this is the local trade in food with a short line between the farmer and the consumer, in this case the catering entrepreneur. In 4 auction rounds we will introduce you to the most beautiful products, so come by and bid.
Permanent and new exhibitors
Our trade fair is rock solid! With the 8th edition on the horizon, HBNN has become a household name in the hospitality industry. This is characterized by the many exhibitors who return to our event every year. In addition, new companies also find their way to the stock exchange. Taken together, this creates a beautiful, innovative and mixed image on the exhibition floor of the atmospheric Martinikerk.
Professional competitions
Also this year, the Horecabeurs Noord Nederland will once again be the platform for the 'North Dutch Tap Competition'† Various catering companies compete to tap the best beers and serve them to the expert jury of the Tap Competitions Foundation. What will also not be missing is the exciting cooking competition 'Ready Cook' where chefs cook against each other in 30 minute rounds while the stopwatch is running. In front of 'NNBK' in the professional competition of the North Dutch Barista Championships, a very striking jury has even been composed this year, so that is promising.
Different than others
Every year we try to give the fair an innovative character, so that visitors are always surprised by new elements that have common ground with the current catering industry and trends. The Horecabeurs Noord Nederland is therefore a trade fair specifically aimed at catering entrepreneurs and their teams. Sharing knowledge and innovation is our top priority, which sets HBNN apart from other catering trade fairs.
