Invitation-only event – access is possible only with a personal invitation (coupon) from our partners and collaborators.

What is the Vulcanus Festival?

Vulcanus Festival is a closed B2B hospitality festival that brings together owners, directors,
F&B managers, chefs and bartenders with their key suppliers. In just 4–5 hours, business for the next season is discussed,
new solutions are tested and partnerships are strengthened – with serious gastronomy and a relaxed atmosphere.

What does a Vulcanus B2B Festival look like?

  1. Arrival & welcome – guests arrive with their invitation, greeted by the host and festival partners.
  2. Showcooking & bar stations – Vulcanus grills, cocktail and coffee stations, beverage automation, premium food & drink products.
  3. Pressure-free networking – conversations over food and drinks, no slide decks or flyers, only real experiences.
  4. Post-event follow-up – guests receive gift packs and an email with the contacts of all participating brands.

Vulcanus Festival outside Croatia

We are expanding the Vulcanus B2B hospitality festival concept to new countries and regions.
We are looking for strong HORECA players and professional event organisers who want to host their own local edition.

Who can become a local organiser?

  • experienced event agencies focused on hospitality / gastronomy
  • HORECA distributors with strong on-trade networks (hotels, bars, restaurants)
  • large hospitality groups or buying alliances
  • premium resorts or destinations looking for a flagship B2B event

Together we design a local Vulcanus Festival edition adapted to your market, key accounts and partner brands.

Key condition – local Vulcanus distributor

Every international edition of the Vulcanus Festival is organised in cooperation with the official Vulcanus grill distributor for that country or region.

  • the local Vulcanus distributor is a strategic partner of the event
  • Vulcanus grills are the central stage for all showcooking
  • all participating brands are integrated around live fire and real service scenarios

If you are an event organiser or strong HORECA player and would like to host the festival in your market,
contact us and we will connect you with the relevant Vulcanus distributor (or invite them to join the project).

Organisation & participation rules

To keep the quality of experience high for all participants, Vulcanus Festival has clearly defined rules for organisation, partner participation and guest attendance.

The focus is on a closed B2B format, limited number of guests, a strong gastronomic offer and avoiding classic trade-show elements (booths, flyers, roll-ups) during the event itself.

All confirmed partners receive the detailed rulebook and guidelines when they apply.

Want the Vulcanus Festival in your city or for your brand?

Besides our own B2B festivals, our team can design and organise a custom Vulcanus event for your brand, distributor network or key clients – in Croatia, your country or wider region.

Whether you want a closed B2B gathering, a premium launch of new products or a strong “end of season” event for your HORECA partners – reach out and we will shape the right format together.
