Bologna Consumer Electronics Fair 2026: where to stay

The Consumer Electronics Fair returns to BolognaFiere on 28–29 November 2026 with its trade-market format aimed at enthusiasts, collectors and industry professionals. The event brings together exhibitors in consumer electronics, telephony, hardware, video surveillance, lighting and amateur radio, offering a hands-on chance to buy, swap and discover the latest market releases. Bologna's exhibition centre, well connected to the central station and Marconi airport, hosts this autumn edition as part of the fair's travelling circuit, which also stops in Modena and Brescia. The event welcomes both trade visitors and the general public, with a special focus on collecting and on audio, video and multimedia technologies. For those travelling from out of town, staying near BolognaFiere makes it easy to attend both days without commuting and to take advantage of the hotels and guest houses in the fair district, which is well linked to the historic centre. The fair is a key date for anyone looking for components, accessories and bargains in the electronics world.
