Koelnmesse’s distinguished event for the furniture supply sector, interzum, is branching out with a new addition to its global event series. From its origins in Cologne, extending through Guangzhou and Bogotá, interzum is now setting its stage in Bergamo, Italy, amidst the country’s furniture and interior design nucleus.
The selection of Bergamo, with its advantageous location near Orio al Serio International Airport and proximity to Milan, establishes it as a prime venue for international gatherings. This locale offers seamless connectivity to numerous global destinations.
Introducing interzum forum italy, the latest biennial event designed to alternate with interzum cologne during even-numbered years. Thomas Rosolia, Managing Director of Koelnmesse Italy, highlights the initiative’s aim, stating, “What we want to emphasise is how interzum forum italy responds to the needs of our times, in which companies are looking for condensed, short and extremely effective events.” The upcoming forum is already attracting wide interest, with expectations to host 200 exhibitors from diverse sectors like Function & Components, Materials & Nature, and Textile & Machinery.
Set for 6th and 7th June 2024, the forum promises an efficient blend of business networking and discussions on contemporary industry themes. It plans to delve into the expanding horizons of supply chains, including those extending into marine, caravan, and automotive sectors, and spotlight trends, technological innovations, and eco-friendly solutions. A rich array of topics awaits, brought forth by esteemed international speakers.
The congress program stands as a cornerstone of interzum forum italy, offering in-depth insights across various supply domains essential to furniture and upholstery production. Designed for a wide audience base, the event promises to be a melting pot of ideas and innovations.
In a nod to excellence, the interzum forum italy award will recognize outstanding innovations, with an esteemed jury panel on board to judge entries. “I am delighted to be here today, at such a prestigious location as the ADI Design Museum, to meet designers and experts who are a testament to the tremendous energy in the sector at the moment and to its international orientation,” Matthias Pollmann, Vice President Trade Fair Management at Koelnmesse, shared during a press conference.
