What is Expat-Expo?
Expat-Expo is a one-day, admission-free event designed for the English-speaking residents of Switzerland. We are currently conducting annual
expos in Zürich, Geneva, Basel, Lucerne and Zug. All together we have over 400 different companies exhibiting and we attract over 12,000 visitors
per year.

Why is Expat-Expo important to our community?
Integrating into a new country can be a daunting process for anyone and Expat-Expo is designed to help the Anglophone community feel quickly at
home by showcasing a wide variety of businesses, organisations, museums, clubs and churches from all over Switzerland. In the space of an
afternoon, families can find important goods and services such as bankers, doctors, accountants and lawyers, schools and day-care, museums,
clubs and churches, even specialty food items. We believe this service contributes greatly to the successful integration of newly arrived families
and veteran expats alike and reduces the stresses of integration for both expats and Swiss.

Why exhibit at Expat-Expo?
Our objective is to provide your company effective and affordable access to the lucrative English-speaking marketplace. Expat-Expo is not only a
very g
ood marketing tool but is also a valuable for networking with other business owners. Our events are well publicized and we do extensive
advertising and have excellent press coverage, thus reducing your marketing expenses.

What you can expect from exhibiting at Expat-Expo:
Expat-Expo is designed for Swiss-based companies to exhibit to the English-speaking residents of Switzerland. Companies that exhibit are looking
for long-term exposure to clients and the opportunity to build solid relationships over time. Although exhibitors do sell
products and services at
Expat-Expo, the visitors are primarily there to learn about the different goods and services on offer to them and often don't make purchases during
the event. Anyone that exhibits should bear this in mind and view their participation in Expat-Expo as an opportunity to demonstrate your products
or services to the public, more than an chance for retail sales.

Who exhibits?
Any company may exhibit and the range of products and companies at Expat-Expo is amazing, from one-person companies all the way up to large
multi-national corporations such as Volvo, British Airways, Nordea Bank and Remax Real Estate etc.. Many of the businesses exhibiting are expat-
owned but there are also many Swiss companies attending, including; Swissinfo and World Radio Switzerland, Zurich Insurance as well as many
Swiss museums and tourism offices.
