HARDWARE FORUM,
an intelligent approach
to exhibiting
Choosing to exhibit at Hardware Forum is an “intelligent
approach to exhibiting”: An excellent standard of pre-assembled modular stands in several sizes – from 7.5 to 30
m2 - with all the services you need as an exhibitor included so you can focus solely on doing business; a functional pavilion and excellent management of space (layout
of stands, catering facilities, conference rooms...) designed
to guarantee a smooth flow of visitors throughout the
area; a location that is easily accessible either by car or
public transport to facilitate access for visitors from Italy
and abroad.
