VENDIST, the region’s only specialized trade expo for vending, self-service, and shopping technologies, will bring together industry professionals for the 6th time within the ATRAX Expo framework, from 15–17 January 2026 at Istanbul Expo Center.
This year’s theme strongly reflects the sector’s transformation:
“TRADE AUTOMATIC – Business Opportunities Become Automated Here”
The New Era of Trade
Global trade is rapidly digitalizing. It is no longer just the products that are changing—how sales are conducted is transforming as well.
Smart sales technologies, ranging from vending machines to coffee and beverage systems, from self-service solutions to digital payment infrastructures, and from intelligent shopping technologies to user experience solutions, accelerate business processes and make trade simpler, more accessible, and more efficient.
The Message of Trade Automatic
The Trade Automatic theme stands out as a symbol of this transformation, conveying two powerful messages simultaneously:
- Trade is becoming automated: Vending, self-service, digital payment, and shopping technologies accelerate business processes.
- Processes are simplified: Consumer-friendly, practical, and easily accessible solutions take center stage; distributor agreements and global business connections are easier to establish.
The Region’s Only Specialized Expo Brings the Industry Together for the 6th Time
VENDIST is the only commercial event in Turkey and the surrounding region dedicated to vending and shopping technologies. Thanks to Istanbul’s strategic position, new trade routes and business opportunities are being shaped across a vast geography, from Europe to the Middle East, and from North Africa to Central Asia.
Now in its 6th edition, VENDIST not only showcases the latest technologies to participants and visitors but also opens the doors to international trade. The Expo will feature the most innovative products and solutions, ranging from vending systems and digital payment solutions to information kiosks and smart sales technologies.
