MILAN, Italy – Organised by Venditalia Servizi and promoted by CONFIDA, Venditalia closed with over 22,000 professional visitors, of which 40% were international. The event took place for the first time in the pavilions of the Fieramilano district in Rho, a setting that organisers believed allowed companies to best express their potential, with well-kept stands and spaces suited to the sector’s business.
“With a growth in visitors of more than 10% and a lively participation in every stand, Venditalia surpasses itself, definitively becoming the European vending event, where the sector presents the best of technological innovations, services and products that will be available on the market” – states Ernesto Piloni, President of Venditalia Servizi.
“An excellent response from Italian (60%) and international (40%) operators for a total of 22,300 highly profiled professional visitors who animated the four days of the event, demonstrating its international profile.
Among the countries most represented by foreign visitors were: France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Portugal and the United Kingdom, all growing in double figures compared to the 2022 edition”.
Innovation and diversity characterised the offer of the companies on display. The technological progress of the sector was important and was clear from visiting the stands, with new services and interesting opportunities that either aim to improve the consumer experience or aim to streamline the daily business of machine operators.
Furthermore, the conferences and workshops that continued throughout the exhibition were well attended, including the Conference moderated by the EVA on AI.
The EVA thoroughly enjoyed catching up with members, discussing their latest products and innovations and meeting new market players.
A special delegation of operators from Brazil (20 in total) as well as from Ukraine highlighted the international feel of the fair.
The EVA also took the opportunity to hold meetings of our Executive Committee, EVMMA (machine manufacturers) and Electronic Payment Committee during the week of the show.
