EXPOVINOS COLOMBIA - BOGOTÁ 2023

PRODECA - Ministry of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda is organising the group participation of companies at EXPOVINOS BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA from 2 to 5 August 2023.

FAIR DATA AND ORGANISATION OF THE SPACE

Prodeca is organising an Espai Catalunya at the Expovinos Bogotá trade fair with the aim of supporting the commercial promotion of wine and fine food companies in the Colombian market.

This is a well-known show devoted to wines and gourmet food, organised by Colombia's largest retail chain, Grupo Éxito. In 2023, Catalonia has been named guest region at Expovinos.

Companies interested in taking part in Expovinos Bogotá 2023 may choose between the following forms of participation:

Individual (corner) stand of approximately 8 m2, including:

• 1 counter
• 1 stool
• Product display surface (shelving or display cabinet, depending on final design)
• Graphics (company logo and branding)

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.

Espai Catalunya (shared, open-plan): each company will have approximately 2 m² linear metres of display space, including:

• 1 counter
• 1 stool
• Graphics (company logo and branding)

The space will have a shared meeting area and storage.

Under the Espai Catalunya option, companies may choose to staff the space themselves, with their own staff, or delegate the staffing, tasting and product presentation to the Prodeca LATAM office team.

Any company needing furniture or services not covered by the terms of the call must notify Prodeca sufficiently in advance so that proper provision can be made for both space and electrical capacity. Prodeca can provide a price list for hiring extra furniture and electrical items (fridges, freezers, etc.) to companies that request it. In all cases, the cost of extras is 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.
