Contract Expo

A programme inside the exhibition created for buyers. It turns a general walk through the hall into a prepared working day with a specific list of meetings. Participation in the programme is free for buyers.

The route is prepared in advance, before the exhibition opens, around your product categories.
A guide accompanies you through the hall and brings you to the relevant stands.
Meetings take place directly at exhibitor stands, so you can see and assess the products immediately.
Supply terms are discussed on the spot, without a separate cycle of emails and calls.
Negotiation outcomes are recorded, so after the exhibition you do not have to reconstruct details from business cards.

A ready route saves time: you do not spend it searching for the right stands in the general flow of visitors.

How participation works

Four steps from application to negotiations at the stand.

Application

You complete the registration form on this page. Participation is free for buyers.
Product categories

A manager contacts you and clarifies which product categories and supplier types you need.
Route sheet

Before the exhibition a personal route and a sequence of stand meetings are prepared for you.
At the exhibition

The guide accompanies you along the route, negotiations take place at the stands, and the outcomes are stored in your personal account.

What the programme includes for a buyer

As part of Contract Expo at WorldFood Moscow 2026 you receive:

Dedicated registration area

Fast entry to the exhibition without the general queue.
Guide and route sheet

A dedicated guide and a route across the exhibition stands prepared in advance.
Personal account on the platform

Personal accounts on the platform with uploaded product presentations.

Visiting the exhibition with and without the buyer programme

The same exhibition hall, but two very different working days.

Visiting on your own

You have to look for the right stands yourself: it is not clear in advance which exhibitors match your product categories.
There is no accompanying guide, so a significant part of your time goes into navigating the hall.
Meetings usually happen by chance and depend on encounters at the venue itself.
Contacts and negotiation outcomes stay in business cards, notebooks and message threads.
You handle all organisational matters yourself, and meals, coffee and tea are at your own expense.

Taking part in Contract Expo

The route across the exhibition is prepared in advance and built specifically around your product categories.
A guide accompanies the buyer across the exhibition and brings them to the relevant stands along the route.
Negotiations take place with relevant suppliers directly at their stands: up to 10 meetings with managers.
Contacts, materials and meeting outcomes are stored in your personal account and available around the clock.
Enhanced service is provided: meals, coffee and tea at any time and access to the VIP Lounge.
