WHY
THE MASTER
Through trade fairs and events, brands can establish a profound dialogue with customers because these are contexts in which the immersive dimension arouses an emotional involvement and attention that other media hardly allow.
The boundaries between formats are increasingly blurred: trade fairs, conferences, conventions, exhibitions and events are hybridising to create new models in response to the changing needs of the market, which demands greater originality in concepts, layouts and installations.
Today's increasingly competitive environment, the new consumer needs, the evolution of the trade fair and event system and the new digital technologies therefore require professionals capable of developing increasingly innovative solutions.
