Constructionshows
Appointment 12-13 March 2025 With A Focus On Digitalization And Sustainability
Verona – 29 July 2024. Digitalisation, environmental sustainability, innovation, technologies for reusing materials and professional training. They are the main themes of the Paving Show & Congress scheduled at Veronafiere 12-13 March 2025. This exhibition-conference is specifically for operators in the road paving sector (free entrance subject to mandatory registration) and a preview for the full debut of the event within the scope of the 32nd SaMoTer Show (6-9 May 2026).
Direct contacts with institutions, public administrations, and associations. The first edition of Paving Show at Veronafiere goes well beyond the technical aspects underlying innovation. Its strong points will offer exhibitors and professional visitors direct contacts with institutions and public administrations, associations and organisations representing the world of construction. This will facilitate the growth of a strategic sector in terms of mobility, transport, internationalisation, trade, improvement of infrastructure and the quality of life in urban, industrial, and rural areas.
Digitalization and environmental sustainability. “Paving Show will not only explore aspects associated with equipment, raw materials, technologies and services for road paving,” said Maurizio Danese, Managing Director of Veronafiere, “but also aims to strengthen networking between sector operators, as well as between companies and institutions, while also responding to the need for qualified training and innovation through conferences, in-depth studies and round tables. In particular, two main themes will characterise the two-day event set up in the Palaexpo at Veronafiere: digitalisation and environmental sustainability. We are well aware of the fact that the new frontiers of the sector must involve reducing environmental impact alongside opportunities that innovation, new technologies and Artificial Intelligence have to offer.”
Veronafiere’s well-established strong point lies in the historic status of SaMoTer as the reference show (now at its 32nd edition 6-9 May 2026) and the event’s partnerships with the world of institutions and associations: Ance, Unacea, Cece, Unem, Anepla, Anas and Assodimi-Assonolo. Attendance by Public Administrations and representative organisations in the sector is seen by exhibitors and professionals as an opportunity for discussion to share growth paths in fields such as training, bureaucratisation, and the definition of regulations to promote the recovery of recyclable materials.
Who is it for. Paving Show targets companies and professional operators in bitumen and road asphalt sectors, road construction companies, compaction and paving machinery operators, oil companies and bitumen retailers, motorway and tunnel concessionaires, material testing laboratories, water-proofing companies, professional figures linked with construction management and road infrastructure designers and road safety operators, not to mention mayors, councillors and technical offices of the public administrations.
Preview in 2025 and the scheduled alongside SaMoTer in 2026. The preview 12-13 March, in particular, will give exhibitors a chance to present their innovative solutions in a market increasingly interested in optimising production processes, improving performance and increasing margins; to involve an audience that is increasingly aware of digitalisation and environmental sustainability issues; to share and possibly integrate process and product know-how; set in motion direct dialogue with road building companies and public administrations to encourage the exchange of ideas and the implementation of effective solutions.
Veronafiere will open registrations for Paving Show 12-13 March 2025 starting from September 2024.
