Zoomark International 2027 in Bologna: where to stay near the venue

Zoomark International returns to Bologna from 11 to 13 May 2027 for its 22nd edition, keeping its place as the essential meeting point for Europe's pet food and pet care industry. Over three days, the Bologna Exhibition Centre brings together manufacturers, distributors, brands and international buyers in a setting built for real business and long-term relationships. The show covers the entire value chain: from food and treats to accessories, grooming and care, alongside raw materials, machinery, packaging and technology solutions. Zoomark is also a launchpad for new products, a trend-watching stage and a training space for vets, groomers, breeders, independent retailers and e-commerce platforms looking to stay ahead of the market. With visitors travelling from over one hundred countries and a strong international exhibitor base, the event blends the reach of a global fair with the sharp focus of a business-driven show. Across the days, special areas, product showcases and networking activities are tailored for industry professionals. If you are planning to attend, book your Bologna accommodation early: the fairground draws heavy traffic on those dates and hotels near Viale della Fiera fill up quickly.
