The Progea Master 2025–2026 Begins: Opening Ceremony with President Bozzetti and a Talk by Marco Pontini on the Future of Events at Fiera Milano

The new edition of the Progea Master 2025–2026 has officially begun. This advanced training programme offered by Accademia Fiera Milano is dedicated to professionals in exhibition, event and congress management. The start of the Master was marked by a highly significant opening ceremony, introduced by President Giovanni Bozzetti, who welcomed the students and highlighted the strategic importance of the exhibition sector within Italy’s economic and cultural system.

During the event, Marco Pontini, Live and Sponsorship Director at Fiera Milano, also delivered a keynote speech, sharing a clear vision of the future of exhibitions. Pontini described how the Milan exhibition district is evolving into a hub capable of hosting an increasing number of events for the general public, with particular attention to sports, entertainment and new forms of live experience. This transformation is creating new professional opportunities and further underscores the importance of developing specialised skills such as those fostered by the master in Trade Show, Event and Congress Design and Management.

The inauguration of the Progea Master 2025–2026 therefore represents not only the beginning of a programme of excellence, but also a symbolic moment that highlights the role of Accademia Fiera Milano in preparing the next generation of professionals in the event industry. In a constantly evolving sector, the ability to design and manage innovative, high-impact events will become increasingly crucial.

With this new edition, Accademia Fiera Milano reaffirms its commitment to training highly qualified professionals, ready to face the challenges and seize the opportunities of a rapidly transforming exhibition market.
