Conet LAB is the tool through which Gruppo Conet develops and updates its strategic vision to benefit tourists and regions. It is an invitation-only meeting place for selected industry professionals, capable of generating new visions and connections to promote the country’s tourism development through the strength of businesses.

The semestral Conet LAB meetings are held in various European cities and allow invitees to create solid and profitable connections among themselves. This, in turn, generates innovative tourism offerings that always aim to combine different proposals, benefiting both tourists, who gain a deeper understanding of the country, and regions, which have the opportunity to attract visitors intelligently.

Conet LAB’s social mission is to combat overtourism, not through restrictions or barriers to access, but through solutions aimed at redistributing tourist flows.

Giacomo Biraghi is the independent Director of Conet LAB, an international expert in urban strategies. He holds a degree in Public Administration Economics from Bocconi University in Milan and a degree in City Design and Social Sciences from the London School of Economics. He is president of the social enterprise Stratosferica, dedicated to urban consulting and city-making, and co-director of the international festival on cities, Utopian Hours. He has also served as Digital and Media PR for Expo 2015 S.p.A. and Head of Innovation for Confindustria Bergamo.
