On 28 and 29 November, fieramilanocity will be the venue for the Forum Agenti Milan, the international event for commercial agents. The B2B event is organised by Agent321 with the goal of bringing together companies that are recruiting and commercial agents. The forum is being held for the second time in Milan; it is hosting 407 exhibitors and expecting 10,000 agents, reps, sellers and brokers.

Over the two days, interviews for sourcing and selecting agents will be the undisputed focal point. A new tool called "Agent321Job" index has been developed to facilitate the search for new agency contracts: thanks to agreements made with key sites and agent recruitment centres, this tool will provide a precise, complete picture of all the proposed contracts and actual candidatures of agents, broken down into product type and geographic area.

Apart from the job and recruitment side, Forum Agenti also includes training sessions, workshops and seminars. Fondazione Enasarco, representing the pension and social security interests of agents, will again have its own private area, where it will give agents advice about their social security positions, free of charge.

Forum Agenti is also targeting international markets and will host 16 companies from Slovenia and nine from the Czech Republic that are sourcing agents in Italy. In addition, two workshops will focus on job and investment opportunities in Slovenia and in the Czech Republic, organised in collaboration with the Ljubljana Chamber of Commerce and the Consulate General of the Republic of Slovenia in Italy, and Czech Trade, the Czech government foreign trade agency.

The seminars will cover all the significant themes for commercial agents: contract termination indemnity and the right to commissions; legislative innovations resulting from the new Stability Law and income tax for agents; analysing agency agreements and quality certification for agents; how to work with new start-ups and how to write a good CV.
