Ro.Me Museum Exhibition

Ro.Me Museum Exhibition: Where culture meets in Rome

The Ro.Me Museum Exhibition is the only international trade fair in Italy entirely dedicated to the world of museums, cultural sites, and destinations. Launched in 2018, it has quickly become the go-to professional platform for institutions, foundations, companies, and professionals who design, manage, and promote cultural heritage. Every November, the event transforms the Capital into a vibrant laboratory of ideas, networking, and innovation, under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture and Roma Capitale.

A unique B2B format in the Italian landscape

Ro.Me's formula blends a trade fair with a conference: over three days, dozens of panels, workshops, masterclasses, and B2B sessions connect supply and demand for services in the museum sector. The 2025 edition featured over fifty scheduled meetings, with approximately one hundred speakers and the participation of museums, universities, associations, and technology companies from Italy and abroad.

Key themes

The debate revolves around the most pressing challenges in the cultural sector:

• Cultural regeneration of territories: the museum as a driver for community development;
• Digital innovation and artificial intelligence applied to heritage enjoyment and preservation;
• Fundraising, philanthropy, and economic/environmental sustainability for cultural organizations;
• Exhibition space design, lighting, accessibility, and inclusion;
• New generations and museum education.

Rome, capital of culture

The choice of Rome, in the Lazio region, is no coincidence: no other city better embodies the relationship between historical heritage and contemporary life. The Municipality of Rome and the Lazio Region have long supported the event, which represents a valuable networking and professional development opportunity for the entire sector. The 2026 edition will be held at the Fiera di Roma, in the city's south-western quadrant, a spacious and well-connected venue capable of hosting stands, exhibition areas, and conference halls.

Why attend

Primarily aimed at industry professionals, the Ro.Me Museum Exhibition is also open to students, researchers, and enthusiasts eager to discover the future trends of museums. It is the ideal place to learn about emerging technologies, forge collaborations, and reflect on the role of culture as a common good and a lever for territorial growth.
