What to expect from CIBUS TEC 2026
CIBUS TEC, the international trade fair for food processing and packaging technology, returns to Fiere di Parma from October 27 to 30, 2026. Four days dedicated to machinery, production processes and innovation, with exhibitors and trade visitors coming from across Italy and abroad. For anyone attending meetings over several days, choosing the right place to stay makes a real difference to how the trip goes.
Piacenza as a base, Parma close by
Piacenza sits at a short distance from Parma both by train and by car, with a direct exit onto the A1 motorway, making it a practical base for those who want to avoid the high prices and traffic of staying right by the fairgrounds. From here, the city is also comfortably connected to Milan by train, useful if your trip includes multiple stops between suppliers and clients across northern Italy. Piacenza train station is just 900 metres from Roma284, handy for anyone arriving without a car.
Why stay at Roma284
After long days spent between stands and meetings, the private patio at Roma284 is the extra space that makes a difference: an outdoor corner all to yourself, perfect for reviewing your notes from the fair, answering last-minute emails, or simply unwinding before heading out again the next day. The apartment is also designed with business travellers in mind: 1 Gbit/s fibre WiFi for video calls and sending large files, a fully equipped kitchen so you’re not always tied to restaurants, and self check-in with a smart lock from 3:00 PM, convenient when your train or flight times aren’t set in stone. Booking directly saves you up to 15% compared to other channels.
