Conferences and conventions

Food carts for conferences

At a conference, the break is where things happen: people network, discuss the last talk and visit the sponsors. A branded street food cart turns that break into something people remember. We bring food carts to conference centres, hotels and exhibition venues all over Spain.

Why it works

Branded street food for conferences

A food cart at a conference does two jobs at once: it feeds delegates during breaks and gives visibility to whoever sponsors it.

Breaks people notice

Something different from the usual coffee and pastries. A juice cart in the morning or popcorn in the afternoon wakes the room up.

Sponsor visibility

The cart and packaging carry the sponsor's brand. It is a touchpoint every delegate visits.

Fast service

Individual servings ready in seconds. For large audiences, we add carts or bring the XXL Cart.

A reason to talk

The queue at the cart is natural networking, and your team can use it to say hello.

Which cart, and when

Which carts to use at each moment of the conference

If you have several rooms or an exhibition area, we can spread carts around so people circulate and visit every sponsor. More ideas in street food ideas for conferences.

Logistics

Food carts in conference centres and hotels

We work at venues such as Fira de Barcelona, CCIB, IFEMA and the Palacio Municipal de Congresos in Madrid, and at hotels with conference suites. Each has its own build-up rules and loading times, and we work around them:

  • Set-up before doors open. We arrive early and have the cart ready before the first break. Most carts take under an hour.
  • Power. Almost all run on a standard 230 V socket. If the venue asks, we give you each cart's power rating for the supply request.
  • Access. The carts are on wheels and fit goods lifts. We just need to know the route to the room.
  • Several days. At multi-day conferences we can leave the cart set up if the venue allows it and it is supervised.
  • Allergens. We send the ingredients sheet for each cart to the organising team or the venue's caterer.

In the sponsor's brand

Branding for conferences

At a conference, the cart usually carries a sponsor's brand or the conference's own. We dress the cart in full-colour panels, print popcorn boxes, cones or tubs, and can add a sign with a QR code so delegates visit the stand or download the event app.

If you want the brand visible across the whole break area, the XXL popcorn wagon offers more surface. See all the options in branded food carts.

Conference questions

How many carts do I need for a large conference?

It depends on attendance and break length. A popcorn cart serves about 60 boxes an hour; for short breaks with lots of people, we add carts or bring the XXL Cart.

Can you set up before the conference opens?

Yes. We work around the venue's build-up schedule and have the cart ready before the first break.

Can the cart carry a sponsor's brand?

Yes, that is the most common setup. We brand the cart and packaging for the sponsor or the conference.

Do you have allergen information for the organisers?

Yes. Each cart has an ingredients and allergens sheet and we send it with the booking.

Do you work at conferences outside Barcelona?

Yes. We travel to Madrid often and take carts to conferences in any city in Spain.
