The trade show sector suffered during the crisis, but it has bounced back.
The number of events in 2017 increased by 30% in the two main sites, Lisbon and Batalha. For example Portugal is hosting three sessions of Web Summit, the biggest start-up show in the world, with more than 1,000 companies attending, 150 of them French. When abroad, the Portuguese like attending French shows more than others. Their second most popular destination is Germany (Fruit Logistika, Anuga, the Hannover Messe, etc.).
