Work with us on building the 2025 program

We are already working on the 2025 edition of WMF - We Make Future, International Fair and Festival on Innovation: AI, Tech, and Digital, which will take place in Bologna at the BolognaFiere rom June 4 to 6, 2025.

Following the success of the 2024 edition, which saw the participation of over 1,000 speakers and guests from around the world, we are poised to elevate this experience even further with a high-quality educational program that intersects market trends and training needs in the AI & Digital-Tech sectors. As always, since WMF is a co-created event involving participants, speakers, companies, startups, NGOs, and institutions, we look forward to your contribution to make it a valuable tool for society this year as well.

The educational program for WMF 2025 is currently under construction. On this page, you can discover how to contribute or take a look at what happened during the 2024 edition for inspiration.
