Business and education opportunities at Verona Fair
Given the fact that the world economy and the international stone industry have been in a recession, show organizers point to Marmomacc as an opportunity for innovation and dialogue with other professionals from around the world.
The 2002 edition of Marmomacc will be even larger than last year's edition, which featured 1,269 exhibiting companies from 43 countries. Qualitative research conducted among visitors and exhibitors at last year's show determined that 89% exhibitors are doing so to "expand their companies." Marmomacc is also seen as a good vehicle for consolidating company image, verifying interest in products, gaining information and updates about innovation, and analyzing the market and competition, according to last year's interviewees.
