Rimini Fiera is a major exhibition centre in Rimini, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy. Completed in 2001 and expanded in 2018, the complex is set in sixteen pavilions with 129,000 m2 (1,390,000 sq ft) of exhibit floor and a dedicated railway station.[1][2][3]
Rimini Fiera specialises in trade fairs, but also hosts sporting events and musical performances. It also hosts the annual flagship Rimini Meeting of the lay Catholic Communion and Liberation movement.
The Fiera is a major local employer. The majority of Rimini's 500 hotels reopen for the conference season, which provides a flow of visitors to the city outside of the summer beach season.[4] The dates of conferences are also used to set municipal regulations on the touristic season along the riviera.[5] In 2015, with the Rimini Palacongressi, Rimini Fiera was estimated to be worth about a tenth of the Province of Rimini's gross domestic product.[6]
The Fiera is operated by the Italian Exhibition Group SpA, which was formed by the merger of Rimini Fiera and Vicenza Fiera in 2016. Since October 2023, the president of the group is Maurizio Ermeti.
