On Saturday 8 February, at 1 p.m., the Italian athletes who won medals at Paris 2024 will attend the EOS inauguration: Diana Bacosi and Gabriele Rossetti, gold in Skeet  Team; Silvana Stanco silver in Trap; Federico Nilo Maldini and Paolo Monna, silver and bronze in 10m Air Pistol; Davide Franceschetti, bronze in P4 - Mixed 50m Pistol SH1. FITAV and ISSF President Luciano Rossi and UITS President Costantino Vespasiano will also be there. In the halls, too, there will be plenty of space for sport: there will be the opportunity to try out guns in Hall 10 thanks to the Unione Italiana Tiro a Segno (Italian Target Shooting Federation), which will manage the large shooting line set up for its national competitions. Then interactive areas organised by the Italian Dynamic Shooting Federation and FIDASC with Agility Dog and Paintball. An interactive area dedicated to archery and one to slinging will also be added.

A central event in the rich program of the EOS Show 2025 will be the International WaSH (Women and Sustainable Hunting) Meeting, for the first time in Italy, organised by the National Hunting Coordination of the Italian Hunting Federation. On Saturday, 8 February, the conference "Game meat as a basis for a healthy diet of people - Education, promotion, support for a good image of hunting in society" is scheduled. Participants come from the United States, South Africa, Finland, Portugal and Eastern Europe. Representatives from the Italian Ministry of Health and FAO will also be present. EOS show is main sponsor of the event.

The area dedicated to wild game food (EOS Arena, Hall 10 booth A300) that was a great success in 2024, in partnership with the UNA Foundation celebrating its 10th anniversary, will be reproposed; many other events will colour the EOS program: meetings and conventions, ungulate exhibitions and various demonstrations, as well as workshops. Also to be celebrated is the 50th anniversary of Con ArmI, the association that brings together 200 Italian manufacturers of guns and gun accessories, gunsmiths, service companies and related companies.

Not only guns and hunting: fly fishing in Hall 9

Hall 9 will host a real fly-fishing festival including casting and lure-making courses.

At the EOS show '25 manufacturers and distributors of fly fishing, spinning and fishing accessories that are in vogue will be present with their latest products, some of which are on their first market launch. And then boating with on-board electronics and all the essential equipment, travel agencies and tourist destinations.

Always a lot of experience. MLF-Major League Fishing Italy will present the 2025 sporting calendar with Jimmy Ashlock, recent world champion in pairs bass fishing in Bolsena (VT). The FIPSAS (Italian Federation of Sport Fishing and Underwater Activities) will also present a series of activities dedicated to young people. And the SIM-Italian School of Fly Fishing will also organise the usual mini-courses on TS casting and tying construction in the larger of the two casting pools at the fair.

Materials and technique to bring young people closer, but also to offer new ideas to more experienced fishermen. EOS Show '25 will experience for the first time in Italy a custom fly-fishing area, dedicated to craftsmen who build rods, lures, nets and other accessories in fine materials and with refined workmanship.

This is alongside the well-established Italian Fly Tyers show, an exhibition bringing together no less than 45 European lure builders who will illustrate their art live on their tables. And the area reserved for IBRA-Italian Bamboo Rodmakers Association, with activities and courses to spread the art of bamboo rod construction for fly fishing.

The presence of the leading manufacturers of hunting and sporting guns is confirmed.

So many events, so many exhibitors and so many visitors are also expected, that the organisation has especially thought of them: an improved internal road network, more rational spaces and, above all, a second entrance, called San Zeno, on the Viale del Lavoro, next to the Palaexpo of Veronafiere, in addition to the traditional one, called Re Teodorico, in Via dell'Industria.
