We are thrilled to announce that Ci Gusta Reggio Emilia will be one of the featured speakers at the upcoming event, “Meet the Brands: Italy” that will take place on November 4 at 12:15 PM at the Industry Insights Stage (Riviera 8) during MAPIC 2026.
For 31 years, this prestigious international trade show has been held at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, serving as the global benchmark for the retail and commercial real estate markets. As the main global transactional hub for retail property players, MAPIC brings together over 4,000 business professionals, including 1,800 retailers, restaurant chains, and leisure operators, alongside thousands of retail locations across the world. It is a milestone event for our industry, and this year, our business will take center stage during a panel discussion co-organized by Confimprese.

On the MAPIC Cannes stage we will share the Ci Gusta story and discuss what it means for us to export our core philosophy—Buono. Sano. Italiano. (Delicious. Healthy. Italian.)—to our many locations worldwide. In addition to sharing our business vision, we look forward to connecting with fellow industry professionals looking to expand their brands beyond Italian borders.
We would like to thank Confimprese—the leading Italian retail association, bringing together major operators with directly managed and franchised networks—for inviting us to participate in this event and providing us with the opportunity to introduce Ci Gusta to the many industry experts attending MAPIC 2026.
We look forward to seeing you on November 4 from 12:15 PM to 12:45 PM at the Industry Insights Stage – Riviera 8 at MAPIC 2026 Cannes.
