The world of digital commerce is evolving at a rapid pace, and the Richmond E-Commerce Forum 2026 stands out as the most important boutique event in Italy for those steering online sales strategies. In 2026, the event doubles its presence in Rimini with two unmissable appointments at the Grand Hotel: the Spring edition (April 22-24, 2026) and the Autumn edition (October 21-23, 2026).
If you’ve been invited as a Delegate or are participating as an Exhibitor, you know that time is your most precious resource. Staying at the Amicizia Hotel in Marina Centro puts you at the heart of the action, just a short distance from the Grand Hotel, in a fully renovated venue designed with the needs of digital professionals in mind. Here, comfort meets efficiency, allowing you to focus solely on your business matching and networking goals.
Richmond E-Commerce Forum: Two Editions for a Year of Success
The Richmond format is unique. It’s not just a simple trade fair; it’s a closed forum based on pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings, high-level seminars, and convivial moments that foster the creation of lasting partnerships. The choice of dates is no coincidence:
- Spring Edition (April 22-24, 2026): Ideal for analyzing first-quarter trends and preparing strategies for the summer peaks and back-to-school season.
- Autumn Edition (October 21-23, 2026): The crucial moment to finalize next year’s budgets and discuss emerging technologies before Black Friday and Christmas.
Both editions take place at the Grand Hotel in Rimini, an icon of elegance and prestige. However, many professionals prefer to stay in nearby, more streamlined, and technologically advanced venues like the Amicizia Hotel, to enjoy greater privacy and a modern environment that fosters concentration between sessions.
Why the Richmond Forum is Vital for Your E-commerce
In a saturated market, the difference lies in relationships and direct access to technology. The Richmond E-Commerce Forum carefully selects participants, ensuring an environment where the level of conversation is always top-tier. Participating means gaining access to:
- Targeted Business Matching: Direct meetings between companies offering solutions (Exhibitors) and managers with concrete needs (Delegates).
- High-Level Training: Workshops and conferences led by industry experts on AI, predictive logistics, digital payments, and customer experience.
- Protected Environment: A closed-door forum that allows you to discuss strategies and numbers in complete confidentiality.
Strategic Location: Stay Just Minutes from the Grand Hotel
The Amicizia Hotel is located in Marina Centro, an enviable position for those attending the Richmond Forum. The distance from us to the Grand Hotel is minimal, allowing you to reach the event venue in just a few minutes by car or with a pleasant walk along Rimini’s new Parco del Mare.

The convenience of being close, yet with the right independence, is the secret to managing an intense three-day event like the Richmond Forum.
