Culinary performance
BIG Design Culinary Performance enhances interaction between visitors and exhibitors, therefore it is obligatory for all exhibitors. The exhibitor is required to host culinary performances on October 10 and 11, serving 250 bites per day to enhance interaction at the BIG Design Exhibition. We recommend collaborating with culinary masters to create one-bite culinary masterpieces that are unique, original, surprising, delicious, and appealing, showcasing the key attributes of the design brands, though this is optional. Alternatively, culinary creations can be based on creative solutions created by exhibitors themselves, using simple bites, or can be arranged by the organizer at €500 per each day, totaling €1,000 for both days.
