On 4th and 5th June, companies, designers, industrial partners, and representatives of the main production districts will gather in Bergamo to discuss the transformations currently shaping the design supply chain and sourcing networks.
The result is an evolving landscape: production, logistics, and collaborative dynamics are undergoing a phase of rethinking that involves the entire Italian design ecosystem, with a growing focus on more integrated, resilient, and innovative models.
interzum forum italy captures and reflects this evolution, which is taking place at a particularly significant moment, immediately following the results of the Salone del Mobile. It provides the ideal context to bring the conversation back to its natural setting: companies, designers, suppliers, and technology partners can engage in concrete discussions about ongoing transformations and future sector strategies.
The focus returns to design and furniture, starting from the very core of projects: materials, technologies, production processes, economic impact, and the latest trends. Among the companies that have chosen to take part in the second edition are Albrecht Baeumer, Asa Plastici, Brighi Tecnologie, Boyteks, Bock, Cofemo, Gruppo Bonomi Pattini, Gruppo Grassi, Kesseboehmer Italia, Linak Italia, L&S Italia, Marcegaglia Specialities, Motion Italia, Simalfa, Stellini Textile, Ternoscorrevoli, and Top Linea.
Designed to be both efficient and highly focused over just two days, the event brings together leading companies from the Function & Components, Materials & Nature, and Textile & Machinery sectors. This is complemented by a rich program of talks curated by national and international experts, who will energise the conference area with in-depth insights, case studies, and engaging discussions.
The congress topics cover the full spectrum of subcontracting and are designed to engage a broad, cross-sector audience. Visitors include companies and professionals from the furniture and design industries, manufacturers of materials and technologies, general contractors, design firms and studios, as well as interior designers. Particular attention is given to project areas that are increasingly interconnected with the world of furniture, ranging from contract to recreational vehicles, and from yachting to transportation design.
“The programme and speaker selection are the result of collaborative efforts with companies and their representatives across the supply chain. The topics we will address have been strategically developed to provide concrete support to those within companies who are responsible for defining a medium-term vision. The two-day format is designed to bring together tools, analyses, and perspectives that support both operational and strategic decision-making across the sector.”
Following the opening ceremony, there will be the conference chaired by Edi Snaidero, President of the European Furniture Industries Confederation (EFIC); Volker Irle, Managing Director of the Association of the Modern Kitchen (AMK); Federica Dallanoce, President of the Italian Association for Purchasing and Supply Management (ADACI); Alessandra Tracogna, Partner and Senior Expert at CSIL and Jörg Buck, Managing Director of the Italo-German Chamber of Commerce.
