GelatoConnect Summit

Leaders. Innovators. Builders.

Biannually, the most forward-thinking producers in the GelatoConnect network come together in one room. Four editions in, the conversations that happen here shape how this industry moves.

Gelato Connect Lisbon Summit Day 1
Summit 2

Not a conference, but a room full of peers

The GelatoConnect Summit is not built around presentations and branded lanyards. It is built around the conversations that only happen when the right people are in the same room. Every session is designed to produce something you can act on the following week.

01.
Benchmark with the best

Hear directly from producers who have already solved the problems you are facing. Real numbers. Real operations. 

02.
See what the future holds

Get early visibility on where the platform and the industry are heading. Summit attendees are always the first to know what is being built and why.

03.
Build relationships that last

The connections made at Summit turn into partnerships, referrals, and supply chain relationships that outlast the event by years. We make sure there is time and space for that to happen.

Customer proof sessions

Producers from across the network share real operational numbers — growth achieved, costs reduced, processes changed. These are not polished testimonials. They are working sessions.

Hands-on working sessions

Not presentations — working sessions. Attendees consistently describe these as the highest-value part of the event. You leave with something concrete, not just notes.

Structured networking

Dinners, roundtables, and unstructured time designed to turn acquaintances into supply chain partners and referral networks. The relationships built here outlast the event.

The annual awards ceremony recognises the producers setting the standard across five categories. Introduced at Lisbon 2026.

The most forward-thinking producers in the network

CEOs and founders

Leaders who set the direction for their business and want to know where the industry is heading next.

Operations directors

The people running production day to day, looking to benchmark against peers and find what is actually working elsewhere.

CTOs and technology leads

Technical leaders who want early visibility on where the platform and the industry's infrastructure is heading.

Growth-stage operators

Producers at an inflection point, scaling into new markets, new product categories, or new levels of volume.
