Summit de Colectividades

The Institutional Catering Summit has established itself as the leading forum for addressing the challenges, innovations, and best practices in the management of collective foodservice operations, particularly in public environments such as hospitals, care homes, and educational centers. In a context where investments in renovating or building 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 examines real transformation experiences, such as the shift from the traditional hot-line model to cold-line systems in major hospitals, where providers and kitchen managers share the challenges, early results, and key learnings from their collaboration. It also explores technological solutions applied to daily operations that enhance efficiency, safety, and service quality without compromising patient care.

In addition, advanced centralized logistics models will be discussed—systems that consolidate production and services while generating synergies across different hospital areas such as laundry, sterilization, or pharmacy. These platforms, already successfully implemented in countries like France and Canada, offer opportunities for efficiency and optimization that could become benchmarks for other collective catering environments.

The Institutional Catering Summit is, therefore, a space for knowledge, dialogue, and professional connection, designed to inspire managers and sector professionals to implement innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions that address the current and future challenges of collective foodservice.
