And starting from the 2021 edition scheduled 29 September-2 October, Marmomac welcomes a new formula with the launch of the new Marmomac Plus portal: a virtual venue that is always active and open to all sector companies and operators, as well as a place for access to every Marmomac initiative, including attendance at the physical event in September. Marmomac Plus is a showcase open to the international market where companies can promote their brands, top products and projects, as well as events and opportunities for sharing with the largest marble Natural Stone Community.
Another innovation for the 2021 edition is Marmo+Solutions, a new exhibition area where companies will be given the chance not only to present materials but also urban, architectural and design solutions developed not the least through sharing planning and implementation with brands from outside the sector. An area dedicated to architects and designers, where companies can display and explain the evolution of their production in an increasingly competitive and global market, where the choice of natural stone is still synonymous with quality and uniqueness.
