Collective Catering Summit

The Institutional Food Service Summit has established itself as the leading forum for addressing the challenges, innovations, and best practices in the management of institutional food services, particularly in public settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and educational institutions. In a context where investments in the renovation or construction of hospital kitchens must coexist with increasingly tight budgets, managers are seeking innovative solutions and strategic collaborations with manufacturers and suppliers to optimize resources and finance projects.

The summit analyzes real-world transformation experiences, such as the shift from traditional hot-line to chilled-line systems in large hospitals, sharing the challenges, initial results, and lessons learned from collaboration between supplier companies and kitchen managers. It also explores technological solutions applied to daily operations that improve efficiency, safety, and service quality without compromising patient care.

Furthermore, advanced logistics models that centralize production and services, generating synergies between different areas of healthcare facilities, such as laundry, sterilization, and pharmacy, will be discussed. These platforms, already successfully implemented in countries like France and Canada, offer opportunities for efficiency and optimization that could become benchmarks for other institutional food service environments. The Institutional Food Service Summit is therefore a space for knowledge sharing, debate, and networking with experts and suppliers, designed to inspire managers and professionals in the sector to implement innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions that address the current and future challenges of institutional food and services.
