Utrecht, Netherlands – 22 April 2024
Victam International, the foremost gathering for professionals in the animal feed and grain processing industries, is delighted to announce the rescheduled dates for its highly anticipated 2026 edition. The event will take place from the 2nd to the 4th of June 2026 at the Jaarbeurs Utrecht in the Netherlands.
Originally slated for 2025, the decision to move Victam International to 2026 was made to align with VIV Europe, another leading event in the industry. By co-locating with VIV Europe, Victam International aims to foster synergy between the two events, creating a seamless experience for attendees and exhibitors alike. This strategic choice underscores our commitment to maximizing value and facilitating meaningful connections within the industry.
As the flagship event of our portfolio, Victam International is renowned for its unwavering focus on innovation and excellence. During the event the 4 yearly prestigious innovation awards for Feed Technology and Flour Milling Technology will be handed out. The 2026 edition holds particular significance as we celebrate the event’s 60th anniversary. This special milestone underscores our dedication to advancing the industry and driving progress for the next six decades and beyond.
Victam International 2026 will feature new halls, allowing for an enhanced exhibition space and a fresh allocation of stands and interactive areas what reflects our ongoing efforts to accommodate the growing demand and evolving needs of our exhibitors and attendees.
Also GRAPAS Europe will take place simultaneously. Grapas focuses on advanced technologies for Flour Milling, as well as grain, rice, and corn elevating, encompassing storage and distribution solutions.
In addition to the exhibition, a comprehensive conference program will run in parallel, addressing current topics and trends in the industry. This format encourages meaningful discussions and collaboration among visitors, scientists, and exhibitors, fostering the exchange of ideas and solutions. Already confirmed conferences are the International Feed Technology Conference organized by the University of Wageningen and the two conferences Feed Milling Maximized and Flour Milling Maximized by Perendale publishers.
Sebas van den Ende, General Manager of Victam, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming event, stating, “Victam International 2026 marks a significant milestone in our journey. We are thrilled to celebrate our 60th anniversary with a special edition that showcases the latest innovations and fosters collaboration within the industry.
