Bergamo: 6 - 7 June 2024

In a rapidly changing market environment, the business world increasingly needs dedicated information support - both visionary and vertical with respect to the topics of the furniture supply chain - but also with respect to the contract sectors in residential and hotellerie, RV and automotive, and yachting.

The Trend Talks will open with a panel discussion involving experts and opinion leaders and will continue by expanding to include the voices of some of the leading companies in the sectors involved; an ensemble that will bring out the critical issues and opportunities of this era of ecological and digital transition.

Programme being updated...
