Imperia: conference clarifies when bars, restaurants and beach resorts

Conference in Imperia: safety and rules for venues hosting music and live entertainment

When: Monday 20 April 2026, from 15:00. Where: Multimedia hall, Chamber of Commerce Riviere di Liguria, Imperia branch.

Confcommercio FIPE is holding a meeting aimed at bars, restaurants, beach establishments, hotels and other businesses that add musical evenings, DJ sets or live performances to their offerings. The aim is to provide practical guidance to identify when an activity qualifies as public entertainment and which regulatory and safety obligations must be met.

• Speakers: representatives from the Fire Brigade, the Labour Inspectorate and public health prevention departments, together with legal and occupational safety consultants.
• Who should attend: owners and managers of venues (members and non-members), safety officers, technical consultants and hospitality administrators.
• Practical topics: criteria to determine public entertainment status, regulatory obligations, safety management, risk prevention and legal responsibilities.

In recent years nightlife has shifted: traditional clubs have decreased while many hospitality venues have introduced music and events that may change their regulatory classification. This transition is often unintentional; the conference aims to fill that gap by offering concrete tools to avoid penalties and ensure proper management of evening events.

Why attend: receive clear guidance from competent authorities, learn how to update documentation and facilities, and improve the safety of night events for guests and staff.
