Florence/Lanciano, September 16, 2026. The online schedule is now live for the events promoted by exhibitors participating in DIDACTA ITALIA – Abruzzo Edition, the flagship event for school innovation and training scheduled from October 21 to 23 at the Lanciano Fiera exhibition center (Chieti).

Alongside the Scientific Program coordinated by INDIRE and led by Prof. Giovanni Biondi, the exhibition area turns into a dynamic training and experimentation lab, featuring 200 events organized by companies and local entities. The calendar will star leading companies in technology, publishing, school furniture, and more, alongside key local institutions: Abruzzo Region, the Regional School Offices (USR) of Abruzzo, Molise, Marche, and Puglia, universities, ITS institutes, and FISM – Italian Federation of Nursery Schools.

Spanning an area of 15,000 square meters across six pavilions, visitors can access hands-on demonstrations, corporate workshops, and presentations dedicated to the latest educational innovations. Key topics include the use of artificial intelligence, immersive simulations, new collaborative learning methodologies, ecological transition, and the transformation of learning environments.

Further enhancing the event’s offerings is the #socialprof area, set up in the Flaiano Pavilion: a space where teachers can meet a community of content creators, educators, and digital communication experts who daily use social media platforms to share teaching methodologies, best practices, and innovative tools.

The area’s program features a dense schedule of meetings, conversations, and practical sessions designed to spark new ideas and promote collective learning on modern educational communication—ranging from the use of music therapy, gaming, and video as learning tools to the operational use of artificial intelligence for daily lesson planning.

Featured creators include: Maestra Giulia, Maestro Libero, Maestra Bruna, Maestre Disordinarie, Maestra Samuela, Maestre in Viaggio, and Il Prof dell’Edutainment.

To consult the full schedule of exhibitor events and plan your visit, go to the official website’s dedicated program section for the Abruzzo edition. Admission tickets are already available for purchase on the portal—also via the Teacher’s Card (Carta del Docente)—with tiered pricing based on the number of days (ranging from 16 to 30 euros).

Unlike the Scientific Program sessions, which are subject to capacity limits, access to all events hosted within company and entity booths is unlimited, provided you hold a general exhibition ticket.
