WIM — Where Ideas Meet — was born from a simple yet ambitious idea:
to give shape, structure, and recognition to an industry that, until now, had none.
Italy's Private Events Industry is worth billions, involves thousands of companies and professionals, and yet for years it has remained fragmented, under-represented, and difficult to read.
WIM exists to change that. Today, it is the place where this market meets, measures itself, and grows. What began as a project in Florence in 2018 has evolved into a national and international ecosystem that brings together:
- physical events (WIM Event and WIM Tour)
- market research and analysis (WIM Insights)
- a digital platform (WIMforPRO)
- continuous professional development (webinars, editorial content, in-depth analysis)
A system that connects people, companies, and territories — turning relationships into tangible opportunities. Today, WIM is the reference point for those who don't simply work in the industry, but choose to actively, consciously, and strategically shape it.
From Florence to the Global Events Market: Our Story
WIM was founded in Florence in 2018 from an intuition of Tommaso Corsini: to study, represent, and evolve an industry as relevant as it is undervalued. In just a few years, what started as a regional event grew into a structured international network — engaging thousands of operators and building real dialogue with institutions, territories, and stakeholders.
The editions delivered, the growing involvement of the supply chain, and the recognition from public bodies, private partners, and the media have established WIM as one of the leading reference points for the industry in Italy.
Today, WIM is far more than an event. It is a physical, digital, and cultural space where the market takes shape — where visions meet, data and experiences are shared, relationships are built, and new development trajectories are defined.
A project that keeps evolving, with one clear goal: transforming a collection of operators into a true industry.
WIM Values
Mission
To transform a fragmented supply chain into an organized system — through network, data, and digital infrastructure — generating lasting growth and institutional recognition for the Italian and international Private Events Industry.
Vision
To build the operational infrastructure of reference for the Private Events Industry in Italy: the vertical professional network with a data moat, proprietary AI, and embedded marketplace — offering Wimmers a competitive advantage that is defensible, cumulative, and impossible to replicate over time.
Goal
To open doors to opportunities the individual operator could never access alone.
Through networking activities, digital tools, studies, and research. The objective?
Lasting, sustainable growth for professionals and companies — finally giving this industry the recognition and the weight it deserves.
Team
Our Team: people, and shared visions.
Behind WIM there is an idea, and behind every idea there are people. A growing team that works every day with passion, expertise, and dedication. There is a founder, Tommaso Corsini, and around him a network of collaborators, partners, and professionals who have chosen to dedicate time and energy to a project they deeply believe in.
But our real team goes far beyond any organizational chart: it is made of everyone who, over the years, has contributed to the journey. Those who helped us grow, who shared a vision, who participated, advised, challenged, and supported us. WIM started as a spark, but it became reality thanks to a vibrant, dynamic, passionate community. A community that today is an active part of the change we want to build together.
Because working in this industry means exactly this: knowing that the strongest team is the market itself. Because only together can we inspire, innovate, and evolve.
