"Year after year, the Rome Bar Show strengthens its position as a leader among trade fair events dedicated to beverages and the bar world," explains Andrea Fofi, among the founders along with Fabio Bacchi, Giuseppe Gallo, and Alessandro Procoli of the Rome Bar Show, "and it does so thanks to the valuable contribution of a sector that, despite a year of ups and downs, believes that RBS can represent a tool for visibility and contact especially for those smaller realities that are facing the market for the first time. The event has become a reference point not only for professional operators," he concludes, "allowing to do quality business, but also for the whole city of Rome, which remains the undisputed Capital of an industry and an image of Made in Italy that is more original." In addition to visiting the exhibition areas dedicated to the spirit industry, getting to know the brands and their products, as always, the Rome Bar Show will offer visitors the opportunity to meet illustrious names and internationally renowned speakers who, from Asia to the United States through Europe, will enrich the schedule of RBS2024's Educational Program. Current topics such as the evolution of mixing and the bar world, inclusivity, and sustainability will be the subject of this two-day exchange of knowledge. Born in 2019, the Rome Bar Show is aimed at the entire world of hospitality and consumers, an event that counts over 200 exhibiting companies, 90 international guests participating in the program, and which in the last edition had more than 14,000 attendees. Rome, in recent years, has become one of the most important cities in the world for the beverage industry, and the partnership between Rome Capital and the Rome Bar Show is a valorial, economic, and cultural partnership that has huge opportunities today and in the near future. A bond confirmed by the renewed patronage with the Municipality of Rome and in particular with the Department of Major Events, Sports, Tourism, and Fashion and with ATAC - the company for the mobility of Rome Capital - which intensifies the network and public service with green and responsible movements on branded buses and subways, and which will offer a ticket reduction to Metrebus Card holders.
