THE 42ND EDITION OF MILANO UNICA IS BACK IN HALLS 8-12, 16-20

The 42nd edition of Milano Unica, scheduled on January 20, 21 and 22, 2026, is back in Halls 8-12 and 16-20 at Fiera Milano (Rho).

The move is correlated with the bringing forward of the dates and the preparation of Fiera Milano ahead of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.

This decision ensures the functional organization of the spaces, maintaining the continuity and consistency of the exhibition experience, which has always been a distinctive feature of the event.

 

A seamless and flowing layout 

The new layout extends along the central corridor that allows for a seamless and flowing path between the four halls, maintaining familiarity with the spaces of past editions.

While a few service areas are probably going to be reduced, the overall layout has been designed to optimize the visitor experience and enhance the dialogue between the different sectors. 

The reception areas in Hall 8-12 and also in Hall 16-20 will be operational and enhanced in terms of reception and cloakroom services.
