On October 22–23, 2025, the Auditorium del Massimo in Rome will host a new edition of the Forum Open Air, the national benchmark event promoted by FAITA-Federcamping for the outdoor tourism industry. Two intensive days of meetings, debates, and networking will shine a spotlight on key issues shaping the sector’s future: sustainability, innovation, new technologies, regulations, and artificial intelligence.
The Forum represents a vital meeting point for entrepreneurs, managers, professionals, and stakeholders across the value chain who are eager to anticipate change and build the future of outdoor hospitality together. High-level talks, panels, and workshops will provide concrete tools and strategic insights, while a curated exhibition area will showcase top companies and innovative players offering solutions and services that make a real difference.
For the Forum Open Air 2025, the organizers have placed the focus on pivotal topics set to define the future of outdoor hospitality: sustainability, digitalization, management and governance, compliance and legal frameworks, and, not least, artificial intelligence and its role in decision-making processes. The result promises to be a particularly engaging program, rich in discussions and reflections, designed to foster a constructive approach and an informed perspective on the sector’s evolution.

On October 22, discussions will move into full swing with a focus on regulatory updates, the evolution of labor contracts, and copyright protection. Considerable attention will also be given to sector data and the strategic role of open-air structures as territorial hubs capable of enhancing local culture, traditions, and experiences.
The closing day, October 23, will feature an address by FAITA-Federcamping’s national president, Alberto Granzotto, followed by a dynamic talk show exploring future challenges: from the impact of artificial intelligence on human resources management to the opportunities of new markets and emerging hospitality formats such as glamping.
