Rimini Fiera

What Rimini Fiera does

Italian Exhibition Group SpA (IEG), doing business as Rimini Fiera, Fiera di Rimini, Rimini Expo Centre, and IEG, is an Italian exhibition and convention management company headquartered at Via Emilia 155, 47921 Rimini. The company operates a multi-venue physical infrastructure platform comprising the Rimini Expo Centre (Fiera di Rimini), Palacongressi Rimini, the Vicenza Expo Centre, the Vicenza Convention Centre, and the jewelry-focused Museo del Gioiello. IEG is structured as an Italian Società per Azioni (SpA) with registered share capital of EUR 52,214,897.

IEG's core business is operating these venues as a direct rental platform for exhibition promoters and event organizers, who contract the facilities to host their own B2B trade shows, conferences, and large-scale public events. The company's recurring exhibition portfolio spans multiple verticals: TTG Travel Experience (tourism), Tecna (surface technologies), InOut (hospitality), the Meeting for Friendship among Peoples (cultural exchange), BEX Beyond Exploration Expo (space economy), and the Alfio Bardolla Wake Up Call (financial training). The platform is marketed through a multilingual corporate website supporting eight languages, dedicated exhibition microsites, an interactive 3D virtual venue tour, and press/media relations.

IEG earns revenue primarily through transaction-fee venue rental to third-party event organizers and exhibition promoters; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is available upon inquiry. The company serves three identifiable customer segments: exhibition promoters and event organizers (primary, B2B), B2B exhibitors and industry participants across tourism, hospitality, technology, surface, and space-economy verticals (primary, B2B), and the general public attending exhibitions and cultural events (secondary). Geographic reach is concentrated in two Italian regions — Emilia-Romagna (Rimini) and Veneto (Vicenza) — with international marketing reach supported by the multilingual digital presence. No revenue figures, headcount growth metrics, or ownership structure beyond the registered corporate form are disclosed in the available source material.
