The 34th edition of the traditional end-of-the-year CSIL Forecast Seminar will take place in Milan on Friday, 25 November 2016.

Since 1983 the Forecast Seminar for the Furniture Markets in Italy and Worldwide has been a keynote meeting for sector players and operators, representatives of institutions and trade associations, journalists, economists and researchers and also a not-to-be-missed opportunity to analyse trends and prospects for the furniture sector in Italy and on the global market, with the participation of a panel of speakers discussing on breaking focus themes.

Focus of this year will be: FROM THE DIGITAL FACTORY TO THE SMART CITY

Keynote testimonials from the whole wood-furniture-furnishing chain as well as from institutions and universities will present case histories within a complex and high demanding market scenario, with highlights related to creativity and technology in the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 will be one of the major topics under discussion.
