Welcome to this new episode of the MACE PODCAST!

Our stop is Italy and my new guest is Cinzia Zanin.

In 2015 Cinzia landed her job at Fondazione Fiera Milano, and today she is Coordinator of Accademia Fiera Milano, educational centre for the exhibition and event industry.

Cinzia has worked with more than 300 millennial and gen z students that enrolled in Accademia Fiera Milano courses to become one day Exhibition and Event managers. She supports their path since the very beginning and follows their first steps into their new careers. Her job gives her the unique opportunity to observe all the changes next gen talents are going through from a privileged position.

I met Cinzia when I coordinated with her and my friend Carla Stefanut the event in Accademia Fiera Milano with Bonnie Low Kramen, in October 2024. You can find the recording of this event/episode in the MACE PODCAST library, but I was invited again by Cinzia to speak to the master PROGEA, organized and hosted by Accademia Fiera Milano, where I shared my experience, my background and my insights to almost 20 students attending the master.

It has been a great experience and the room was LIVE!

I invited Cinzia then to share more about the master PROGEA, which are the pillars and goals of the Master programme and what is this all about in the exhibitions and events' world?

Which are the things that students can now take on in order to develop their curiosity and shape their careers as professionals?

Which are the takeways from Bonnie Low Kramen's event and how this can have an impact on the future of these students?

Enjoy our conversation and stay tuned!
