Dear Friend,
Back from our American adventure we wish to share an analysis of the initiative.
The 10th edition of the Italian Workshop was held on 8th May in Chicago at the historical Drake Hotel, and the 11th edition took place on May 10th at the super central Cipriani 23rd Street.
These two prestigious venues were the perfect setting for the events, for their friendly and convivial atmosphere during the final gala dinners, but the great success of the events were surely due to the quality of contacts and to the several American operators interested to Italian product. More than 50 Italian operators have met with 98 companies in Chicago (141 operators) and 117 companies in New York (156 operators).
The main sponsors of the event, Abruzzo Region and the Autonomous Province of Trento had the chance to promote their tourist offer through a press conference with American media. A special thank goes to the Director of Enit (Italian Official tourist board) in North America, for the excellent work done by him and his staff.
Here below some of the comments received from American operators:

Thank you for inviting me to your conference. I received much needed information and hope to meet with suppliers on my next trip to Italy.
