Trade fairs in Madrid

Madrid is the Spanish capital and a host of professional trade fairs. IFEMA Madrid hosts shows on technology, manufacturing, logistics, hospitality design and aesthetics, with a calendar concentrated in October and November.

Madrid stands at the center of the Iberian Peninsula and combines the roles of political capital, financial center and transport hub. The national administration, the head offices of large Spanish groups and many foreign subsidiaries are based here, and Barajas airport and the high-speed rail network link the city with the rest of Spain and with Latin America. The Spanish page on industry and manufacturing follows the sector across cities.

IFEMA Madrid hosts many of the city's fairs, while the Pabellón de Convenciones in Casa de Campo and Madrid Arena take a few more. Industrial events organized by Easyfairs form a recognizable group: Advanced Manufacturing Madrid, Empack Madrid for packaging, and Logistics & Automation Madrid for logistics and supply chain technology.

Technology is another subject. Tech Show Madrid is a conference and exhibition for business professionals and executives, covering cloud, cybersecurity, big data and artificial intelligence, with Data Centre World Madrid devoted to data center design, cooling and operations, and E-SHOW Madrid to e-commerce. The technology and innovation page lists related shows elsewhere in Spain.

Hospitality, beauty and building complete the picture. interihotel gathers operators, designers and architects around hotel and restaurant interiors, Salón Look serves the image and aesthetics trades, and BioCultura Madrid presents organic products to professionals and the public.
