With a focus on congress destinations in Italy and neighbouring countries, Association Days promotes meetings among event organizers, promoters of destinations or locations, and service providers specialized in the congressional industry.
Association Days not only promotes commercial opportunities and transactions between supply and demand, but stimulates interaction and collaboration among suppliers, organizers and institutions, with the aim of developping new business opportunities through collaborative projects, in particular the promotion of international candidacies as well as agreements for the circulation of national and international events.
