Rimini Fiera – on the occasion of the WMF – will also host the new edition of the Digital Job Fair, a series of events and initiatives dedicated to the job market and digital professions, their professionals, and the skills they require. Within it – in addition to the Digital Job Placement, a recruiting service for the digital job market – there will be job interviews, training on essential skills for today’s job market, discussions on the evolution of smart working, and proposals and contributions useful for defining a regulatory framework for Digital Creators, following the hearing of Search On Media Group, the organizing company of the WMF, at the Chamber of Deputies on the matter.
At the WMF2022 there will also be a significant presence of institutional representatives – including the Undersecretary of Health Andrea Costa and the Undersecretaries for Foreign Affairs Benedetto Della Vedova and Manlio Di Stefano – who will address, in specific panels and discussion sessions, topics concerning the country’s future challenges for building a more equitable and sustainable future: from the PNRR missions to innovative entrepreneurship, to Italian cultural heritage, through the digitalization of public administration and the regulation of digital professions.
“More than ever this year, on the occasion of the tenth edition of the WMF, we believe in the importance of cooperation to achieve shared, equitable, and supportive goals. Our vision remains what we identified over 15 years ago: to build a better future starting from education and training regarding the conscious use of technological and digital innovation tools,” stated Cosmano Lombardo, CEO of Search On and creator of the WMF. “We believe it is essential to gather all the players in the innovation world into a virtuous and sustainable network. We perceive a great desire to mobilize, together, to create something unique for everyone’s future, and we are here for that.”
Finally, there will be moments of show, entertainment, and live musical performances in all the exhibition pavilions, for a 3-day event that will also move to the rhythm of music and artistic performances.
