With nearly 250 events, 12 external fairs and 7 congresses, the second half of the year is likely to be equally busy


IFEMA's Congress and Convention activity successfully concludes the first half of 2012, with 266 events over these first six months, including 12 fairs organised by external bodies, 7 congresses and 247 other events. This activity, which anticipates the intense schedule for this area in the rest of the year, is one of IFEMA's main lines of business and helps to position the trade fair institution as one of the most recognised business tourism centres, in addition to boosting Madrid's economy.

Specifically, in events organised by external bodies, 12 fairs were held at FERIA DE MADRID in the first six months of the year: Exporeclam, Restauración Moderna, Expoelearning, Venatoria & Subaru, Salón de Gourmets, Feria de Empleo para Formación Profesional, Infarma, Omexpo – Expo Ecommerce, Siti Aslan, Fer Interazar, Sima and Days.
