This is such a huge and gigantic place, that very few of the larger events can actually fill it. I attended the 28 FICG, one of the largest international films festivals in the world, with more than 3000 people attending, and still, only a fraction of the space was used.

I just came back from the Feria Internacional de Libro. This is a yearly event in a huge exhibition area. If it's not there, it doesn't exist in Spanish. Chile was the guest of honor this year and participated with a very nice pavilion, lots of books, interesting side activities, talks, etc. Every editorial house is there, from the most... More

We've been to the Expo several times over the years to attend the FIL, the annual international book fair. This is a great place for the book fair because of its size, facilities and location.

It's brand new with soaring spaces, plenty of adjacent parking structures and a great venue if you are attending a convention or trade show. There are many first class hotels surrounding it and only steps from the front doors of all of them.

I attend a lot of shows in Convention centers all over the world. This one is a nice bright airy center that is well laid out so the amount of walking you have to do is at least a third less than most centers. It has convenient parking right across the street and very little hassle to get in and... More
