PRODECA - DACC is organising a group participation of Catalan companies at EXPOVINOS COLOMBIA, held in Bogotá from 1 to 3 August 2024.

TRADE FAIR DETAILS

Expovinos Bogotá is one of Latin America's leading wine fairs.  It is held annually in Bogotá, Colombia, at the Corferias venue. This year marks the 19th edition, with wineries and brands from around the world. It is organised by Colombia's largest retail chain, Grupo Éxito.

This fair is aimed primarily at the wine sector. Food companies may also take part. In that case Prodeca reserves the right to select the products to be exhibited in line with the fair's and the market's requirements. If a company cannot take part for reasons of product suitability, Prodeca will inform it immediately and refund any amounts paid.

At Expovinos Bogotá, Prodeca is organising a Espai Catalunya with the aim of helping promote wine sector companies commercially in the Colombian market.

ORGANISATION OF THE SPACE

Companies interested in taking part in Expovinos Bogotá 2024 may choose between the following participation options:

• INDIVIDUAL STAND OF APPROXIMATELY 8 m², INCLUDING:
  — 1 counter
  — 1 stool
  — Product display surface (shelving or display cabinet, depending on the final design)
  — Graphics (company logo and image)

The basic stand decoration will be the same for all companies. Within their own space, each exhibitor may use other promotional materials (vinyls, roll-ups, signage, etc.), provided these do not alter the overall look of the stand and are attached rather than nailed. Exhibitors must notify Prodeca in advance and bear the cost of installation.

• CATALONIA AREA (SHARED, OPEN-PLAN), INCLUDING:
  — 1 counter
  — 1 stool
  — Graphics (company logo and image)
  — The space will have a shared meeting area and storeroom.

Any company needing furniture or services not included in the conditions of the call must inform Prodeca well in advance so that adequate provision can be made for both space and electrical power.

Prodeca can provide a price list for hiring extra furniture and electrical items (fridges, etc.) to companies that request it. In any case, the cost of extras is always borne by the exhibiting company.

If a company brings furniture or electrical items that have not been notified to Prodeca in advance and these cause problems for the stand build or for the other participating companies, they will have to be removed.

COST AND CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION

Individual stand of 8 m²: €1,200 + VAT
Catalonia area (shared): €350 + VAT

The price includes transport of the samples from Toledo, Spain, to Bogotá, Colombia.

Staffing the stand is not compulsory. Companies may choose to staff the space themselves or delegate it to their local importer, if they have one. For participation in the Catalonia area, the stand may also be staffed by personnel appointed by Prodeca Latam.

A draw will be held to allocate exhibitor locations.

Company registrations will be accepted until the space contracted for this fair is fully allocated. Prodeca's general acceptance criterion applies: order of arrival of registrations.

APPLICATION AND PAYMENT DEADLINE

• Closing date for applications: 15 June 2024
• Deadline for sending samples: 28 June 2024 — they must be in Toledo.

Registration fee: €350 + 21% VAT = €423.5

A company will be considered admitted once it has submitted the participation application within the stated deadline and paid the registration fee. The remaining amount must be paid  before 15 July 2024.

Once admitted, if the company withdraws it will forfeit 100% of the amount paid. The organisers reserve the right to assess the reasons given by the company for cancelling its participation and to refund a percentage of the amount paid.

The organisers reserve the right to select companies according to criteria of sector fit and product suitability for the fair's market.

TRANSPORT OF SAMPLES

Transport of samples from the WINERY to TOLEDO is at the exhibiting company's expense.

The participation fee includes the consolidated shipping and handling of samples from Toledo, Spain, to Bogotá, Colombia.

Prodeca will send the sample transport instructions, including the maximum allowance, in a separate notice.

Companies must meet all the requirements set out in the transport instructions. If a company fails to do so and does not rectify this in time, its samples will not be shipped to the fair and return costs will be borne by the winery.
