Roma Bar Show returns to the Capital of Italy - September 14th & 15th 2026 La Nuvola, Rome
Roma Bar Show returns for another year with 2026 marking the 7th edition as well as a new chapter.
September 14th and 15th at La Nuvola in the Eternal City of Rome
Founded in 2019 and growing exponentially each and every year, the Roma Bar Show brings together the world of bars and spirits in the Capital of Italy with now hundreds of exhibitors and buyers spanning over 30 countries and featuring some of the most influential players in the game globally.
And thanks to a recent ‘Buyers Program’ developed with the Italian Trade Agency and Fiere di Parma, the Roma Bar Show 2026 has broadened its horizons with new business opportunities, bringing the international trade show to greater heights.
Also bringing with it a new address and date – RBS 2026 will now be held at La Nuvola on September 14th and 15th.
With some of the most famous names and faces in the bar world taking the stage, RBS appeals not just to those people working in the bar, beverage and spirits sector but also passionatos. Rome Bar Show also allows people the unique opportunity to enter some of the world’s best bars and meet the people behind them – without ever having to leave Rome. It’s also the perfect opportunity for networking and education with a rich program featuring key figures from around the world, sharing not just their field research, recipes and experiences but their personal stories.
Always staying ahead of the latest trends, the Roma Bar Show 2026 will focus on the major themes transforming the industry offering insights from the experts in their field. Now featuring an innovative app to facilitate meetings AND a revamped website where you can sign up for your favorite seminars and masterclasses way in advance!
Debuting in addition to the bar show is the ‘No & Low Alcohol Area’ and the new ‘Business Room’ - a training space for bartenders, bar owners and professionals. The Roma Bar Show helps you to find the resources and support while educating you in the areas of leadership, financial management, brand development, and data analysis plus new career opportunities and possibilities from production to distribution.
Despite the slightly new and improved formula of RBS 2026 evergreen elements will always remain such as the beloved Mexican Village featuring agave spirits galore, as well as the ‘Roma Bar Show Educational Programs’ with cutting edge topics and an array of seminars, masterclasses, tastings, and talks held in the RBS Auditorium, Tasting Room and Academy.
And although mixology and all its components also remains at the heart, other elements do play a major part - i.e. Food and Hospitality to name a few…
From the revolutionary approach of Fay Chen of award-winning Double Chicken Please in NYC where every cocktail is inspired by a dish, to the experiences of Jonathan Gabbay (of Argo, Hong Kong), Marco Corallo (of Saikindo, Abu Dhabi), Alex Frezza (L’Antiquario, Naples) and so many more international “stars” working hard to elevate the industry.
Two full days of business training, education, exploring, and networking in turn creating connections in the most genuine (and fun) way possible in the process, Roma Bar Show builds not just bigger bonds but a stronger connection within the bar & beverage industry worldwide.
Because at the heart – and from the start - “the Roma Bar Show was designed to create connections between people, ideas, and markets” stated Andrea Fofi, one of the first founders and CEO of RBS, so it makes perfect sense that “the growth of this industry depends on the ability to network, share expertise, and embrace new international opportunities”.
The Roma Bar Show 2026 format is filled with opportunities with an official calendar of events during the convention hours and some “RBS Sideshow” events for after. Check out the full line-up, purchase your tickets and sign up for those RBS 2026 seminars ASAP!
