Food Festival
Why the Food Festival?
Returning in 2026, SBC Summit Rio’s Food Festival promises to be more than just a pit stop between sessions; it’s an experience in itself. With dozens of food trucks spread across three dedicated zones, the Food Festival has been created to make your day simpler, tastier, and more enjoyable. Forget about long treks or limited options – you’ll always find the perfect spot to grab a bite, take a breather, or connect with peers in an atmosphere that feels as inviting as it is energising. From local delicacies and plant-based options to gluten-free favourites and allergen-friendly dishes, every food area has been thoughtfully curated to ensure there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a full meal, you’ll never have to compromise on flavour or quality. And for VIP Event Pass holders (including Exhibitor, Sponsor, Operator and Affiliate pass holders), you’ll also receive a complimentary, pre-loaded Food Festival wristband, which you can use at any food truck across the festival.

Each Food Festival area offers its own unique atmosphere, bringing together diverse flavours and welcoming spaces that invite you to relax and recharge between sessions. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or taking time to connect with peers, these areas serve as lively social spots designed to keep the energy high and conversations flowing.
Functionally, the Food Festival is integral to the event layout. Strategically positioned zones ensure smooth flow throughout the venue, reducing wait times and unnecessary wandering. The result? More time for what truly matters, which is engaging with content, connecting with peers, and enjoying those spontaneous networking moments that happen when everyone feels at ease.
