SKInnovation comes to life in Italy, in Madonna di Campiglio, in the heart of the Brenta Dolomites Skiarea: a natural setting that is unique in the world, with 150 km of ski slopes, all seamlessly connected. On one side, the majestic Brenta Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the other, the Adamello-Presanella glacier: a spectacular backdrop
where the force of nature meets the spirit of innovation.

The highlights of the event – from inspirational speeches to networking – will take place in two exceptional venues that combine functionality and atmosphere:

Ristorante Boch (2,085 m) – the vibrant heart of Talks & Experience, welcoming guests with a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Rifugio Stoppani Dolomites Lodge (2,500 m) – the stage for Talks & Networking, offering an authentic alpine experience in full high-altitude.

Both are easily accessible by the Grostè cable car (1st and 2nd sections). True icons of the SKInnovation experience: the perfect places to spark inspiration, networking and authentic high-altitude experiences.
