Meeting place for knowledge transfer and networking: these are the events in the complementary program of IFFA. Lecture and discussion forums, guided tours and craft competitions will address the most important industry topics. The events offer inspiration, product information, experience, expertise and contacts.
IFFA Kitchen & Stage (Hall 11.0)
A high-grade programme of talks, accompanied by live cooking events, where the focus is on innovative products and ingredients – that is the focus of IFFA Kitchen & Stage. In addition to the lecture area, there is a show kitchen where two well-known show chefs prepare products in an entertaining and informative way, with the results being ready for tasting immediately. The performance is rounded off by specialist lectures on innovations in technology, product development and nutrition trends.
IFFA Discovery Tours
Curated and compiled by recognised experts, the tours provide orientation and draw attention to the less obvious innovations in the huge range of products at IFFA. Participation in the Discovery Tours is free of charge and will be based on the thematic worlds of the fair. Each tour will take about 1 to 1.5 hours and is open to all visitors without registration. Simply go to the IFFA Discovery Tours information stand 15 minutes before the start of a tour.
IFFA Product and Quality Competitions (hall 12.0)
The German Butchers' Association's national and international competitions for quality and performance will once again be one of the highlights of IFFA 2025. The competition area is located in Hall 12.0. Here, every butcher's shop can compete internationally in terms of the variety of its craftsmanship and the quality of its products.
