The international stone exhibition, held annually in Verona, Italy, saw nearly a 50% surge in attendance from the previous year’s edition – demonstrating stone industry members are ready to return to in-person events
The halls and outdoor areas of Marmomac were bustling with activity during the four-day show, held from Tuesday, September 27 through Friday, September 30, 2022 in Verona, Italy. It was apparent stone industry members were excited to return to an in-person event. The international stone exhibition attracted 47,000 attendees – a 49% increase from 2021. International attendance from 132 countries accounted for 63% of this result.
“This result all but returns the event to pre-pandemic figures in 2019, following the special online edition in 2020 and the restart show in 2021," said Federico Bricolo, president of Veronafiere, organizers of the exhibition. “Veronafiere has resumed its role as a driving force at full steam for the international development of this industrial supply chain, while also generating economic returns for its home city and the local area as a whole."
