World Spice Congress Venues
World Spice Congress rotates across India's major spice-producing centres. Past editions: 2014 Goa, 2016 Hyderabad, 2018 Madurai, 2020 (postponed), 2022 Hyderabad. Future editions are organized by APEDA in coordination with the host city Spices Board chapter.
Venues are typically 5-star hotel convention centres (HICC Hyderabad, Madurai Convention Hall, etc.) — different from trade-fair-style halls. The format is conference + exhibition + B2B meetings rather than open trade-show floor.
