Marmomac 2026 runs September 22–25, 2026 at Verona Fiere in Verona, Italy. The event is the 60th edition and is expected to bring together about 1,400 exhibitors or brands from over 54 countries, along with roughly 50,000 operators and professionals from 140 countries.
For natural-stone buyers, fabricators and specification teams, the event brings material, machinery and design activity into one setting across 12 halls. The announced program combines stone and equipment categories with installations, awards and a city program in Verona.
Scale and product categories
The announced show scale is about 1,400 exhibitors or brands from over 54 countries, roughly 50,000 operators and professionals, and visitors from 140 countries. Marmomac 2026 spans 12 halls at Verona Fiere.
- Marble, natural stone and design
- Blocks and unhewn stone
- Tools and chemicals
- Machinery and equipment
This range gives purchasers an opportunity to compare premium marble slabs, block and material programs, and the processing or chemical categories connected to fabrication decisions.
60th-edition program
The 60th edition introduces the International Sustainable Excellence Award in collaboration with the University of Verona. The award recognizes machinery and projects that reduce energy consumption. The existing Best Communicator Award also returns.
The sustainability focus connects with procurement discussions about material and process choices, including the issues covered in natural stone embodied carbon. The announced award does not replace a project-specific assessment of material, logistics or processing.
Design and city installations
Marmomac & The City, organized with White Carrara, brings installations into Verona historic-center squares. The announced designers are Ross Lovegrove, Antonio Aricò and Claudio Nardi.
Hall 10 hosts THE BEDROCK: Leading the Future of Natural Stone. The installations are curated by architects Davide Fabio Colaci and Joseph Grima, with contributions from Raffaello Galiotto and Giuseppe Fallacara. Architect and curator Carlo Ratti is scheduled to deliver the opening keynote on the connection between advanced technology and urban space.
What it means for buyers
Buyers planning September sourcing meetings can use the four product categories to organize discussions around material selection, block supply, fabrication equipment and chemicals. The announced exhibitor and country participation provides a reason to prepare supplier meetings around the material or processing decisions relevant to a project.
For specification teams, the awards and Hall 10 program add a design and energy-consumption context alongside commercial sourcing. The dates and venue provide the time window for planning meetings, samples and follow-up with exhibitors or brands.
The 60th edition combines the scale of the trade fair with a defined program for material, machinery and design conversations. Marmomac 2026 lists marble and natural stone and design, blocks and unhewn stone, tools and chemicals, and machinery and equipment among its product categories. That structure lets a buyer prepare a meeting list around the stage of work that matters most: selecting a finished surface, discussing raw material, reviewing a processing need, or evaluating supporting tools and chemicals.
The new International Sustainable Excellence Award, created with the University of Verona, recognizes machinery and projects that reduce energy consumption. The returning Best Communicator Award adds a separate recognition program. For teams reviewing the relationship between natural stone and project sustainability, the award program can sit beside the discussion in natural stone embodied carbon. The event announcement does not turn that context into a material claim; it identifies sustainability and communication as part of the 60th-edition program.
Verona will also be part of the program outside the halls. Marmomac & The City, organized with White Carrara, brings installations to historic-center squares and names Ross Lovegrove, Antonio Aricò and Claudio Nardi as designers. In Hall 10, THE BEDROCK: Leading the Future of Natural Stone is curated by Davide Fabio Colaci and Joseph Grima, with contributions from Raffaello Galiotto and Giuseppe Fallacara. The opening keynote by Carlo Ratti addresses the connection between advanced technology and urban space.
For marble buyers, the fair's stated marble and natural-stone category provides a direct reason to prepare material conversations, including premium marble. For machinery, chemicals and equipment buyers, the same dates and venue can be used to organize meetings around their respective categories. The practical value of the preview is its fixed window: September 22–25, 2026 at Verona Fiere in Verona, Italy, rather than an assumption about what any individual exhibitor will offer.
