For the first time, the business trade shows are on the city's official B2B event calendar

São Paulo, May 2024 – The São Paulo municipal government officially announced the inclusion of the business trade shows on the city's calendar of strategic attractions. With this, the two RX business events become part of the city's official agenda for the first time.

The ceremony was attended by Mayor Ricardo Nunes, the executive secretary of Tourism and Travel of the State of São Paulo, Luciana Leite, the president of SPTuris, Gustavo Pires, city councilor and president of the Chamber's tourism and events committee, Rodrigo Goulart, and the president director of UBRAFE (Brazilian Union of Business Fairs and Events), Paulo Octávio Pereira de Almeida.

With the announcement, Feicon, an international trade show for the construction sector held in April, and Fenatran, a reference event for the road freight transport sector (which has a new edition in November) join the city's B2B events calendar.

“We proudly celebrate the inclusion of Feicon and Fenatran on the Official Calendar of Business Events in the City of São Paulo. A milestone that highlights the importance of these key events, reflecting the excellence of our event portfolio and the positive impacts on the economy, promoting sectors and providing professionals in different markets with business opportunities,” emphasizes Cláudio Della Nina, general director of RX Brasil.

Mayra Nardy, portfolio director at RX, adds: “Fenatran is fundamental for the freight transport sector, serving as a catalyst for new business and contributing significantly to the generation of jobs, both direct and indirect. In the same way, Feicon is an essential platform for launches and trends in the construction sector, fostering professional qualification and promoting an environment conducive to innovation and economic development.”

The initiative of the city of São Paulo, SPTuris and UBRAFE to include business trade shows in the city's strategic events calendar is pioneering. They already include traditional events such as the Book Biennial, also organized by RX, the official Carnival parades, the Virada Cultural, the São Paulo Formula 1 Grand Prix, the São Silvestre International Marathon and Year's Eve at Paulista avenue, among others.

“Having this ⁠recognition of the value of large business events is an important achievement not only for RX, but for the entire event organizing segment, and a very important step to further promote all the markets involved,” Della Nina concludes.
