It is not easy to find the number, variety, and quality of startups comparable to those I saw at the WMF, reflecting an event that is growing year by year, becoming one of the most important in our country not only for innovative marketing but also for those involved in venture investing.
With UniCredit Start Lab we have been among the partners of the WMF since its first editions. We share with the Festival a curiosity and interest in innovation, having always been committed to supporting new entrepreneurship and start-ups. Over the years, the Festival has grown in terms of content quality as well as in the number of participants, a solid example of an enterprising Italy.
Gentlemen, we FINALLY have a great Italian innovation ecosystem event on par with the international ones. Excited to see all these people and all this energy in Rimini at the WMF.
The Web Marketing Festival is a rich, well-organised event that grows year after year. A privileged observatory on new business ideas in the digital sphere.
"Festival" or "trade fair" might be downplaying terms when describing the WMF: to this day, the event is able to attract the biggest projects and the most experienced representatives of the digital and innovation sector. So many stages and so many topics that you would like to follow, set in the beautiful city of Rimini.
We received a lot of contacts from possible partners, a great source of visibility. All very interesting!
I really loved the vibe at the event. I could feel the passion. Lots of young, smart and ambitious people with great ideas.
WMF Rimini was one of the best marketing events rankingCoach has ever attended. We managed to talk to hundreds of existing, potential, and new customers and partners. The organization was superb and the venue excellent. We will be happy to attend again anytime and whoever doesn't is making a big mistake!
