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 of Switzerland. Expat-Expo is not only a very
    good marketing tool but is also 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.
