Parma, October 30th, 2026 – On Wednesday, October 28th, the prestigious Sala del Ridotto at the Teatro Regio di Parma, an institutional partner of the Club, hosted the first event of the season dedicated to Parma Calcio 1913's family of partners. The event marked the official launch of “Meet Up Business Lab - Act One”, an innovative networking initiative developed by the Gialloblu Club. The project aims to go beyond traditional partnerships, creating a dynamic platform where business leaders can connect, exchange ideas and gain visibility. Its goal is to strengthen the local and national business community by fostering valuable relationships through dedicated events and exclusive experiences, both at the stadium and beyond.

Each will focus on specific business themes, offering valuable opportunities for Business Lab Members.

The day began at 12:00 PM with welcome drinks attended by the Mayor of Parma, Michele Guerra, highlighting the strong ties between the Club and the local community. Parma Calcio 1913 CEO Federico Cherubini then officially opened proceedings, outlining the project's vision and objectives during the Seasonal & Business Lab Kick Off session.

The event brought together around 70 representatives from the Club's business and commercial partners and continued with a buffet lunch, providing an opportunity for guests to connect and network. Adding to the occasion was the special presence of a delegation of Parma Legends, featuring iconic figures from the Club's history, including coach Nevio Scala, Marco Osio and Fausto Pizzi.

The event concluded with an exclusive guided tour of the Teatro Regio, offering guests a unique cultural experience that celebrated the connection between sport, business and the city's artistic heritage. The day then continued at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, where Parma Legends Marco Osio and Fausto Pizzi accompanied Parma Calcio 1913's business partners on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Gialloblu's home ground. Ahead of Parma vs. Udinese, Matchday 9 of the Serie A Enilive season, guests enjoyed exclusive access to areas normally off-limits to the public, including the team bus arrival area, interview zone and dressing rooms, before heading pitchside just minutes before kick-off.
