DaTE is moving to the Adriatic Riviera. DaTE 2025 is set to take place in Riccione, Italy from September 13-15, 2025 with a new format to meet the latest needs of this challenging sector.
“We chose Riccione for several reasons: first, because it is a city perfectly aligned with the concept of our exhibition,” explained DaTE President, Davide Degl’Incerti Tocci, along with founding partners “Given its historic ties to design, its passion for innovation, and its sophisticated and, at the same time, provocative lifestyle, Riccione has long been a magnet for creatives, trendsetters, and experimenters, just like our exhibitors and buyers.”
Riccione can easily be reached by train and car and the Rimini International Airport is just a few kilometers away, making it accessible for international participants. The mild mid-September climate, along with an extraordinary, comprehensive array of available accommodations, create the perfect conditions to facilitate business meetings and networking opportunities.
“There’s still a bit of suspense surrounding the exact location in Riccione,” the President teased. Meanwhile, we are planning the forthcoming editions and can already reveal that DaTE events will be held in Naples, Rome, Milan, and Bologna. To discover the future dates and all the latest news, I invite you to follow us on our official website and social channels!”
