Where will the event be taking place and why have you picked this location?  

The 13th edition will take place in the city of Brasov. GastroPan 2022 will take place in Brasov, at Lux Divina centre. The fact that Brasov is located in the centre of Romania, the location is easily accessible from a logistical point of view and has a generous parking lot, as well as the existence of numerous accommodation possibilities, even in the event centre that will host the exhibition, are the main factors that contributed to making the decision to organise the exhibition in this city. The most important reason, however, was the request of exhibitors, suppliers of equipment, ingredients, solutions and dedicated technologies from Romania and abroad, to move the exhibition to the centre of the country.
