11th ITGS
Int. Table Grape Symposium
28th September to
2nd October 2026
in Murcia city in the south of Spain.
Dear sponsors, exhibitors and industry stakeholders
Welcome to the 11th ITGS Int. Table Grape Symposium
The symposium will take place from the 28th September to 2nd October 2026 in Murcia city in the south of Spain.
Spain is the host country for this next symposium, and we are very proud to be taking on the mantle.
This symposium is going to be slightly different in that we are going to introduce a more commercial element to the proceedings along side the technical and scientific. This will be to widen the circle of interested attendees.
It will take place just before Fruit Attraction, currently the most recognized fair for the fruit and vegetable sector, not only in Europe but worldwide.
There are many countries around the world where table grapes are an important crop.
We aim to include as many countries as possible.
We look forward to welcoming you to Spain.
