Frequently asked questions
What does it cost on average to organise a conference in Italy?
Costs depend on the number of attendees, the city and the services required, and they differ noticeably between regions, with the North generally more expensive than the South. Venue and catering are usually the largest items. Enter your data in the tool to compare your budget with the reference values for your region.
How can I tell if an event supplier's quote is in line with the market?
Compare the quote with reference costs for the same event type, number of attendees and city. Always ask for at least 3 comparable quotes and check what is included in the price (VAT, setup, technical equipment, staff).
