The private label industry in Italy is in full swing and MARCA Bologna opens the doors so that you can get a piece of the action. Position your products in a strategic market that’s populated by the biggest buyers within Italy and the rest of Europe. The international exhibition is held once every year at the start of January and BolognaFiere serves as the official venue. There’s much to draw you in to Marca Bologna. Last edition to release its attendance records registered close to 750 exhibitors and well above 10,000 trade visitors.
MARCA Bologna focuses on fostering business relations, so it’s heavily populated by manufacturers, suppliers, distributers and retailers – basically the entire retail chain is present.

In terms of products, visitors get to experience the best in food products, feminine, adult and baby care products, household and leisure products, pet products, packaging solutions, service companies, technical press and associations, and general merchandising.

Hi Megan,
You are a complete and utter star!!!
Thank you so much for all of your efforts with this, I really do appreciate you fighting our corner on this one and for getting them to add in the special clause. I cannot thank you enough. This truly is an example of great customer service :-) and you can quote me on that!
Please do go back and confirm with them.
Thank you again.
Have a lovely evening!
Just want it to be highlighted to your company how hard you work and that it should not go unnoticed. We have had so much bad luck in the past with accommodation in London, so it is so reassuring to have someone like you who has helped us – I will be sure to use you always going forward as customer experience is everything and you have nailed this ☺
Thank you again – what a credit to your team

Dear Mark, Sorry to reply this late! I have just got back to Taiwan after this long business trip – the K was very successful and thank you for asking. I would love to take a while to give you mine, and my Teammates’ feedback about the accommodation. Overall impression: Very good value for money! Pros: 1. Great location – it took 2 minutes to walk to the metro station and then 20 more minutes on the train to get to the fair. 2. Lots of restaurants and shops around – very convenient! 3. Rooms were big and clean, and we had plenty of space for our suitcases. 4. Comfortable beds, central heating and big bathrooms. 5. We will definitely consider it for the next K! it fulfilled most of our requirements! Having said all that I know you would like to know about the cons. I do not try to attack you, as you don’t run the hotel, but for your reference and future customers you should be aware of the down side of the hotel; 1. There was no internet connection in the rooms – I think it was the biggest problem for us, as we had to receive emails and work in the lobby – the only place with the internet connection. You must know that the lobby was in a different building across the street! So this was not what I had in mind when ordering the rooms – Wi-Fi connection in the room is the most important thing when searching hotels for myself and my Team. The lobby was also a bar and a restaurant at the same time so it was inconvenient for us and other patrons to work there. The staff of the hotel did nothing upon my request to fix the connection in at least some of our rooms. 2. Great location – unfortunately it comes with a price – the area was busy and loud every night and for the whole night, the windows didn’t block all of the noise of breaking glass and drunken singing. As I said at the beginning it was good value for money, and we would still chose this one! Knowing it was loud and there was no internet would not stop us from ordering it, but it would give us heads up and chance to mentally prepare. I hope my feedback was helpful and you will communicate with the hotel the need for Wi-Fi.
Thank you! Best Regards, Emma TRACZ Regional Manager
The hotel was perfect for our 5 days stay in Friedrichshafen. Rooms warm and clean. Good breackfast and good restaurant.
