EXPOFRANQUICIA 2006 HAS ALREADY CONTRACTED OUT 70% OF ITS EXHIBITION SPACE

A total of 210 brands have confirmed their presence, of which 50 percent were already present last year.

EXPOFRANQUICIA has proven to be the best business centre in its sector and the main forum for trend in Spain this year. 

The Franchise Exhibition, EXPOFRANQUICIA 2006, has overcome all comparisons with other years, even though there are still five months until the official inauguration the 12th edition. This will be held from March 30th through April 1st 2006, in Feria de Madrid. A total of 210 brands have confirmed their presence. This figure is especially relevant if we take into account that the marketing term is still open. There is no doubt, EXPOFRANQUICIA has proven to the best business centre in the sector and the main trend forum in Spain in this area.  In this regard, IFEMA, the institution in charge of the event, foresees the participation of around 300 brands, including the most active franchises. 

Besides this, because of the constant growth that it keeps registering since its creation, this trade fair is proving to be one of the most outstanding trade fairs of its speciality in Europe. Evidence of this is the increase, year after year, of investors that visit the fair. In 2005, it reached 18,424 visitors. Amongst these latter were foreign visitors, mostly coming from Portugal, Italy, Mexico, Venezuela and France. It is expected that the fair will surpass these figures, due to the great expectation caused by brands and participating companies.

With these assets, EXPOFRANQUICIA 2006 will once again present the best offer from this important economic sector, which is aimed at the Foodstuffs and mass consumer goods sectors; Household Furnishing; Hotel and Catering; Personal Outfitting; Business Services and Specialized Services; Consulting; Finance companies; Dry-cleaning, Leisure and Education, and Specialized Magazines sectors. 

Extensive programme of Technical Conferences

The exhibition completes its commercial activity with an interesting programme of technical conferences, in which the most topical issues within the industry will be tackled. These conferences are organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Madrid, where experts assess and inform the visitor about the sector.
