Rimini, 9th October 2026 – From 14^th to 16^th October, InOut | The Hospitality Community will not only be an exhibition but will also include discussions and vision with specific arenas: the InOut Arena (Hall D3), the Beach Arena (Halls B7/D7) and the new Extra Hospitality Arena (Hall D2). Here, a programme of events will be hosted to connect design, technology, artificial intelligence, wellbeing and the younger generation. Furthermore, the Main Arena, shared with TTG (South Hall), will round off the programme with previews of research and award-giving ceremonies.
