Xylexpo Studios for “Xylexpo Digital”!
It’s a new initiative repeating. Yes, no mistake: Xylexpo 2024 is offering an intensive program on its digital platforms also during the upcoming edition, transforming the Xylexpo Arena into a new container called Xylexpo Studios. The collaboration with Xylon and Cepra Multimedia will generate rich contents that will be the focus of Xylexpo Digital, streamed live on the Xylexpo platform (click here) and on the exhibition’s YouTube channel (@xylexpowoodworkingfair).
All contents will remain online after the end of the exhibition, enabling a global audience to experience the Milan show not only in person during the exhibition days, but also on demand.
