CONFIDA has chosen Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), the company that manages the Rimini trade fair center, as a strategic partner for the development of the Venditalia trade fair.
With the agreement, approved unanimously by the CONFIDA Assembly this June, starting in 2026 Venditalia will be organised in the pavilions of the Rimini Trade Fair every two years.
The aim of the partnership is the development, particularly international, of the most important European vending trade fair.
“After several years of success and development,” commented Ernesto Piloni, President of Venditalia, “we stopped to think and, with the firm will to continue to grow Venditalia, we looked for a new partner to work with. IEG turned out to be the best possible choice for the strategic prospects offered. The synergy that has been created between us will be fundamental to continue to consolidate the importance of Venditalia in the markets we already cover, such as Italy and Europe; but, in particular, it will be fundamental to debut in the future also in new international markets, thus giving even more visibility to the incredible technological and product innovations that the Italian and European vending sector offers.”
“We are very satisfied with this agreement,” commented the President of IEG, Maurizio Ermeti, “which will allow us to bring a new international event to Rimini, the most important in Europe in its sector. And we are proud that CONFIDA, an association linked to the world of Confcommercio and a leader in the sector, has appreciated our expertise as trade fair organizers in choosing the strategic partner with which to give continuity and a further opportunity for development to an event that is already a leader in the sector. The choice of IEG aims, in fact, to further develop “Venditalia – The Vending Expo” both nationally and internationally. To this end, a working group of people from IEG will be committed to supporting the historic team of the event in order to implement, starting from the 2026 edition, a series of elements of evolution and innovation through development both in the product sector and in internationalisation”.
Born in 1998 in Genoa, Venditalia has continued to grow over the years and attract more and more professionals in the sector. In 2004 it received the qualification of ‘international event’ and this year, having reached its thirteenth edition, it has obtained significant numbers: 32 thousand square meters of exhibition space, 300 exhibitors (40% of which international, mainly from France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Portugal and the United Kingdom) and 22,300 professional visitors. Venditalia, in addition to presenting the widest range of vending and professional coffee machines, products and services for vending, is also enriched by a programme of meetings and conferences that examine the main challenges and opportunities of the sector. The new partnership with IEG will lead to further international development of the event.
