Exhibition Staff Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo is Brazil’s largest city and the world’s seventh largest, which means it is a great place to not only visit, but to do business as well.


Why exhibit there


Sao Paulo is Brazil's most internationally orientated business city, so here business conduct is more ‘western’ than in other cities. It is renowned for being a business hub not only because it is the financial centre of Brazil, but because it is the 10th richest city on the planet.


Put simply, if you want to do business in Latin America, you want to do business in São Paulo.


Plus, on average there is one event every six minutes in São Paulo and 75% of the largest exhibitions in the country take place in the city.


Getting there


Fly into Guarulhos International airport and then take the subway into town. Trips cost about $1.50 each way.


There is an Airport Bus service which costs $17.50 each way and journey times are between 1 to 2 hours, depending on traffic. It connects Guarulhos with the major hotels and the main bus terminal.


Restrictions on what you can bring into the country


Have a read through the rules what you can bring in, because there are a few unusual rules regarding electronic items and clothing that can be deemed taxable.
