Special guests, among the most famous and innovating worldwide graphics and studios, will lead the workshops: Borja Martinez for Lo Siento (Spain, Design For Packaging), Gordon Young (England, Design For Environment), Hans Wolbers for Lava (Holland, Design for Editing), I profit (Italy, Design for Enterprise).

These exhibitions will be supported by other thematic exhibitions, seminars and round tables with more than 50 international chairmen.
"Eating with eyes is the best way to explain the topic of this edition," the Aiap President, Daniela Piscitelli, explains, "because it suggests how taste tends to be the last, not the first, of the senses involved. Therefore, quite often, when we create food we start from a visual perception and then we link also a flavour to it".
