Organizers of the LAMPA Conversation Festival are seeking food and beverage vendors for the 2026 event, with applications open from March 2nd to March 31st. The festival, known for fostering dialogue, also prioritizes providing attendees with quality dining options.
Vendors will be selected through a competitive process, with results announced by April 13th. Prospective participants are required to complete an application detailing their proposed menu and pricing, booth size requirements, technical needs, and visual presentation. Detailed participation terms and fee schedules are available here; applicants are encouraged to review them prior to submitting their application.
Each year, LAMPA hosts over 20 vendors across four categories: food service, snacks and ice cream, non-alcoholic beverages (with or without snacks), and light alcoholic beverages (up to 14% ABV). Festival organizers emphasize the importance of a diverse and high-quality offering, catering to various tastes and dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and child-friendly options, both in portion size and price. To ensure accessibility, vendors are expected to offer at least one menu item priced at or below 8 euros.
Sustainability is a core principle of the festival, and participation in a deposit-based dishware system is mandatory for all vendors. Organizers urge potential applicants to thoroughly understand the system’s logistics and assess their ability to participate. The festival also encourages vendors to replace single-use plastics with eco-friendly alternatives, implement waste sorting practices, provide data for statistical reporting, and offer both cash and card payment options.
LAMPA offers vendors a trading space in one of two food zones, collaborative support, and organizational and technical assistance during the festival. The event anticipates attracting between 18,000 and 20,000 attendees over two days, presenting a significant opportunity for vendor exposure. This event underscores the growing importance of experiential marketing and local engagement for businesses.
Interested parties can find complete participation terms and submit their application by March 31st. Further information and contact details can be found in the Food Vendors section of the festival website.
