The venue is the Portimão Arena.

Whether you are a business wanting to meet prospective customers or a resident wanting to find out what is available to make your life even better in Portugal, BLiP Expo is for you, showcasing a wide variety of products and services for Visitors to peruse at their leisure. Look at the website www.bliportugal.com to see the current list of Exhibitors.

There are lots of familiar names returning and some have been at BLiP Expo since its first event in 2001. But they are joined by many new Exhibitors, all looking forward to meeting you and explaining what they offer and how they may be able to be of service to you. BLiP Expo provides an informal but professional environment in which to explore lifestyle solutions. There will be promotions and special offers throughout the Arena, many of these are exclusive to BLiP Expo visitors. Don’t be afraid to ask as you wander around.

You will even be able to have your questions about the new EES (Entry and Exit System) being introduced at borders across the EU from 12 October answered by a team from the PSP police unit from Faro Airport who will have a stand in the centre of the Arena.

There is plenty of free parking outside the Arena and entry for Visitors to the Exhibition is also Free. There will be on-site catering with a coffee area, cafeteria, plus a hot and cold selection for lunch in the upstairs restaurant. Everything takes place indoors, so adverse weather conditions are no excuse not to visit! The Arena is easy to find off Junction 5 of the A22, or the Hospital exit off the A22, then follow the signs.

Sponsored by Medal Insurance, the Exhibition is strongly supported by the Algarve Regional Tourism Board, Turismo do Algarve, and Open Media, publishers of The Portugal Resident, amongst other publications. The opening hours are: Saturday 10am – 6pm; Sunday 10am – 4pm.
