We achieved an excellent result considering the huge difficulties due to the health emergency, especially taking into account the number of companies present and their satisfaction as exhibitors. In fact it was a b2b fair, there were many meetings between companies and the objectives achieved by the companies were of a high level, due to the number of contracts signed and the number of products sold. A great success that prepares us to organize and manage the next edition of 2022 even better, hoping to be finally out of the pandemic. It will be an international fair, which will involve more and more companies from abroad such as Germany, Slovenia and Croatia that have managed to participate this year despite the terrible health situation that is affecting their country. Our mission for the next MIG: to become ever greener, more attentive to environmental sustainability, always open to the pastry and chocolate sectors. This means that it will be a lively fair that wants to grow and that we will see in action next year. Thanks to all the companies present and a great wish for success for Longarone, the Dolomites and the whole team of Longarone Fiere ”.

We can finally say that we did it above all to send a positive signal of relaunching the supply chain, to start off again in 2022 with a great MIG that will return to the glories of the past. We believe in it and we will work right away, starting tomorrow, so that the Gelato Exhibition remains and continues to make Longarone the world capital of artisan gelato “.
