About this event
FARETE 2026 — Analisi approfondita (Buyers / Attendees / Geo / Focus)
Dati ufficiali dell’evento (dalla fonte disponibile)
- Edizione: Tredicesima edizione
- Date: 14 e 15 settembre 2026
- Venue: Bologna Congress Center
- Città/Paese: Bologna, Italia
- Promessa dell’evento: networking, formazione e innovazione, con focus su cultura d’impresa, formazione qualificata (manager, prime linee, responsabili di funzione, tecnici, giovani talenti) e condivisione di best practices aziendali; presenza di relazioni B2B nazionali e internazionali
1) Chi attende (BUYERS / ATTENDEES)
FARETE è presentato come un evento con un impianto “hub di contenuti” orientato a generare valore attraverso cultura d’impresa, formazione, best practices e B2B nazionali e internazionali. Questo significa che non è “solo” un pubblico generalista: la parte più monetizzabile per campagne buyer tende a essere quella composta da decision-maker e professionisti che guidano formazione, sviluppo organizzativo, capability building, performance, innovazione e trasferimento di best practice.
A) Buyer primari (decision-maker che possono acquistare / commissionare servizi)
- Responsabili / direttori HR (HR Director, Head of HR, Direttore Risorse Umane): tipicamente investono in percorsi di upskilling e sviluppo organizzativo.
- Learning & Development / Talent Development (L&D Manager, Talent Development Manager, Responsabile sviluppo competenze): il tema “formazione qualificata per manager e prime linee” è allineato.
- Direzioni formazione / corporate academy (Corporate University Manager, Responsabile academy): frequente interesse per programmi strutturati, percorsi certificati, partnership.
- Responsabili Sviluppo Organizzativo / People Development (OD Specialist, Change & Organization Development): allineati all’obiettivo di “cultura d’impresa” e best practice.
- Manager dell’area Innovazione (Innovation Manager, Responsabile progetti innovazione): perché l’evento dichiara innovazione + networking.
- Responsabili tecnici / tecnici di funzione (Technical Training, Responsabili formazione tecnica): coerente con “tecnici” inclusi nel target formativo.
- Responsabili comunicazione interna / employer branding (Interna/Comunicazione, Employer Branding): cultura d’impresa e best practice spesso passano da questi ambiti.
B) Buyer secondari (influenze e procurement “non immediati”, ma molto utili)
- Operations / Plant management (Direttore stabilimento, Operations Manager): possono partecipare per programmi di formazione e sviluppo delle competenze di reparto.
- Responsabili qualità / miglioramento continuo (Quality Manager, Continuous Improvement Manager): perché la condivisione di best practice e contenuti di valore è spesso legata a processi.
- Consulenti e provider (Training provider, società di consulenza organizzativa, osservatori su competenze): spesso partecipano come erogatori o partner B2B.
C) Attendee “non-buyers” ma utili per targeting di prossimità
- Manager e prime linee (come partecipanti ai contenuti formativi)
- Responsabili di funzione
- Giovani talenti (potenziale anche per programmi HR, internship, graduate)
- Professionisti tecnici
2) Dove si svolge + provenienza geografica degli attendee
Dove: Bologna Congress Center, Bologna, Italia.
Provenienza geografica degli attendee: sulla base della sola descrizione ufficiale disponibile, l’evento dichiara B2B nazionali e internazionali. Tuttavia, non sono presenti dati quantitativi sulla percentuale di pubblico locale/nazionale/internazionale o sulla composizione per regioni/città. Per questo, la provenienza specifica (es. “% da Emilia-Romagna”, “% da Nord Italia”, ecc.) non è deducibile con certezza dalla fonte fornita.
Come interpretarlo operativamente (senza inventare numeri)
- Core locale/regione: molto verosimile, dato il posizionamento territoriale (“valorizzare l’identità imprenditoriale del territorio”) e la sede a Bologna.
- Nazionale: coerente con la dimensione B2B e con la presenza di aziende che cercano formazione e best practice.
- Internazionale: la dichiarazione “nazionali e internazionali” suggerisce che almeno una parte del pubblico business proviene dall’estero, tipicamente tramite relazioni aziendali, partnership e network.
3) Audience reach (Local / National / Global)
Raggiungimento dichiarato: Nazionale + Internazionale.
Locale: Bologna e territorio circostante costituiscono molto probabilmente una componente rilevante, ma non è indicata una percentuale.
4) Sample buyer company names (BUYERS ONLY) + Websites
Di seguito abbiamo preparato una lista di buyers (aziende che, per profilo e attività, risultano potenziali acquirenti/beneficiari di contenuti, formazione, programmi di upskilling e iniziative di cultura d’impresa).
È una shortlist per avviare una campagna di lead sourcing e proposta.
Nota importante: la pagina ufficiale condivisa non elenca “aziende presenti” nel testo fornito, quindi qui non possiamo verificare ufficialmente gli espositori 2026.
L’approccio corretto è usare questa shortlist per creare targeting mirato e poi validare tramite aggiornamenti “Le aziende presenti” sul sito.

- Networking
- Formazione aziendale (contenuti e percorsi)

- Condivisione best practice (approccio basato su esempi aziendali)
6) Estimated attendance (expected total footfall)
Al momento, nel testo ufficiale fornito non è presente un dato di attendance stimata o “expected footfall”. Pertanto, per evitare assunzioni non supportate, questo campo è lasciato non disponibile.
7) Key focus areas & buyer engagement
A) Key focus areas (derivate direttamente dalla descrizione ufficiale)
- Cultura d’impresa: rafforzamento identità e allineamento su valori/standard operativi

- Innovazione: contenuti orientati al valore, non solo informativi
B) Buyer engagement: cosa funziona davvero nel messaggio
Per ingaggiare buyer in una manifestazione come FARETE, l’angolo più efficace non è “genericamente presente”, ma:
- Competenza & percorsi: evidenziare che la proposta porta competenze, metodi e strutture formative.
- Leadership e prime linee: molti buyer cercano impatto misurabile su ruoli di coordinamento.
- Best practice replicabili: chi compra formazione spesso vuole casi d’uso e modelli concreti.
- Allineamento culturale: cultura d’impresa significa anche coerenza su onboarding, retention, performance e comportamenti.
- Attrazione talenti: “giovani talenti” implica anche graduate program, internship e piani di sviluppo.
8) Verifica prodotto cliente + richiesta sito cliente (per identificare i “best buyers” reali)
Per poter selezionare davvero i migliori buyer in base ai requisiti del prodotto del cliente, abbiamo bisogno di una revisione mirata. Qui sotto chiediamo i dati essenziali.
Ci serve da voi (risposta rapida)
- Sito web del cliente (URL ufficiale) per capire esattamente cosa viene venduto e a chi.
- Che tipo di soluzione offre il cliente:
- formazione / coaching / academy
- consulenza organizzativa / change
- piattaforma digitale (LMS, HR tech, knowledge, talent)
- servizi alle aziende (survey, assessment, skill mapping)
- altro (specificare)
- Paesi target e lingua della campagna (solo Italia o anche estero?)
- Che obiettivo commerciale serve: lead per meeting, registrazioni, demo, partnership?
Appena riceviamo il sito cliente, faremo questo
- Riformuliamo la shortlist: alcuni buyer forti per HR/L&D saranno “top”, altri verranno esclusi se non coerenti.
- Creiamo una mappa “prodotto → job title → industria → reason to buy” direttamente per FARETE.
- Indichiamo quali segmenti sono più probabili per conversione: es. Corporate Academy vs OD vs Training tecnico.
Per ora (senza il sito cliente), la selezione buyers resta basata sulla descrizione dell’evento e su ruoli tipicamente responsabili di formazione e cultura d’impresa.
9) Industrie suggerite (coerenti con l’elenco industries fornito)
Usando l’elenco industrie che avete condiviso, per FARETE le categorie più rilevanti sono quelle che si agganciano a formazione aziendale, organizzazione delle competenze, consulenza manageriale e sviluppo talenti. Qui sotto proponiamo le migliori scelte (da usare come filtri industria).
Industrie consigliate (da priorità alta a media)
- Professional Training & Coaching (molto coerente con “formazione qualificata”)
- Education Management (se il cliente lavora su programmi di formazione strutturati / governance learning)
- Management Consulting (se il valore è consulenziale su cultura, change, best practice)
- Human Resources (ruoli HR/L&D e talent development)
- Program Development (se il cliente eroga programmi e percorsi in modo modulare)
- Marketing & Advertising (solo se la proposta è legata a employer branding/comunicazione interna & cultura)
- Events Services (se il cliente offre servizi collegati ad eventi aziendali, workshop e format)
- Information Services (se c’è componente di knowledge, skill mapping, intelligence e reportistica)
- Research (se il cliente fa assessment, studi competenze, benchmarking e misurazione)
- Industrial Automation e Mechanical or Industrial Engineering (solo come estensione: buyer tecnici, training tecnico, competenze industriali)
Conclusione operativa (cosa consegneremmo dopo la revisione del prodotto)
FARETE 2026 (14–15 settembre 2026, Bologna Congress Center) è posizionato come evento B2B “contenuti + networking + innovazione + formazione”, con focus esplicito su cultura d’impresa e sviluppo competenze per manager, prime linee, responsabili di funzione, tecnici e giovani talenti.
In assenza del sito cliente, abbiamo impostato una shortlist buyers orientata a HR/L&D/OD/Innovation e a industrie con workforce e programmi formativi. La prossima fase (fondamentale) è collegare la proposta del cliente ai bisogni specifici: per farlo abbiamo bisogno del sito web del cliente.
Prossimo passo
Inviaci qui il link del sito del cliente e una frase su “che cosa vendiamo” (1-2 righe). Dopo la revisione, prepariamo: una lista “best buyers” realmente coerente con il prodotto, con job title specifici, priorità e motivazione d’acquisto per FARETE.
