UBRAFE: efficiency and proven quality José Rafael Guagliardi – President UBRAFE – Brazilian association of Trade Fairs Organizers

Companies and professionals are unceasingly participating in business fairs in Brazil aiming at prospecting new markets and enlarging commercial networks. The interest aroused by Latin America can be evaluated in the large number of international buyers seeking to establish a partnership with local companies in order to take a foothold in this big market. The development of this area, starting from the concrete structure of the pavilions and services up to the conclusion of deals has been the major premise of the modern times.

Thanks to the investments effected by promoters linked to UBRAFE — which will celebrate its twentieth anniversary in 2006 — Brazil can now count on a consolidated agenda, of more than a hundred and fifty big fairs held annually in more than twenty cities. These fairs are the most important meetings for more than thirty economic areas, extending from the automotive sector to construction. In 2006, they will bring together thirty six thousand small, medium and big exhibiting companies. The best suppliers will have a chance to negotiate and establish stronger links with distributors, sellers and traders, identifying new trends and obtaining subsidies for manufacturing better products and elaborating good solutions. Through these events the fairs will offer, once again, their valued contribution to markets’ development.

We invite you to look closely at these wonderful opportunities with the launching of the 2006 Calendar of the main trade fairs in Brazil so as to make excellent business deals!
