The exhibition centre covers a total area of 155,000 sqm, of which 70,000 are indoor, structured in an highly flexible layout and subdivided into three communicating areas: reception, multifunctional areas and the meeting places.
Recent functional upgrading work in the whole area has doubled the exhibition and multifunctional areas and led to the technological updating of all equipment as well as the provision of huge outside and underground parking areas. The meeting places are not only for the organization of events linked to the fairs, but every year they house more than 600 conferences, totalling 40,000 participants and more than 1,000 guest speakers. The extremely modern Press Club, situated in Pavilion 7, is a place for journalists and opinion makers to meet and talk, and to use the most modern technologies. A new multi-storey carpark will be added. This area will grow over the next few years, with the building of the Welcome structure which will house, as well as bank counters and information offices, a reception hall, private lounges, bars and facilities.
