The AIBI Congress is being held in Hamburg – Germany from 22-24 May 2024.

This recurrent biennial event for the bakery industry profiled itself as an important networking point that the bakery community puts high in its agenda. It is an important hub of networking and information for anyone who is involved in the bakery business, including suppliers and downstream partners.

Venue

AIBI Congress 2024 is taking place in Hamburg, Germany, the Free and Hanseatic city. While keeping something of its medieval independence and particularism, Hamburg is the second largest port and commercial center of Germany, and one of largest and busiest ones in Europe. It is a world-renowned business hub that has retained its characteristic individuality.

The congress venue is the Grand Elysee Hotel, which is located right in the heart of the city and combines modern amenities and spa facilities.
