What your Seafood Expo Global stand needs depending on fresh fish, frozen, canned or machinery
Seafood Expo Global gathers buyers and suppliers of seafood and processing equipment, with over 35,500 professionals at its last edition. Buyers pass many countries in a few hours, and the stand must stand out through its product.
Fresh fish and shellfish
Well-solved chilling, with a chilled showcase or counter, and light that shows the product's colour without warming it.
Frozen and canned
Samples and packs ordered by species and format, with the data sheet next to them and a table to talk volumes.
Country pavilion
A collective stand with a shared identity and modules per company, with a shared zone to receive buyers.
Machinery and processing
Equipment shown on safe supports, with a working demo and power planned from the drawing.
What Fira Gran Via requires of a free-design Seafood Expo Global stand, until its manual is out
The Seafood Expo Global exhibitor manual is not public. These are the rules of the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via technical regulations and will be confirmed with its manual.
See all 7 rules, with their source
| General height | 5 m at most, if the stand’s proportion and the hall’s allow it. Above that it is a complex structure and requires a signed, approved project. In the connection areas between Halls 4-6 and 5-7 the maximum is 4 m. Each event may set another height. source |
|---|---|
| Floor and platforms | Only platform or carpet, which the exhibitor removes at the end. A platform may not exceed 18 cm and its ramp stays inside the stand. Paint, glue and anchors on the floor are not allowed. source |
| Venue walls | It is forbidden to drill, screw or nail into hall walls, ceilings, floors or columns, or to use a neighbouring stand’s walls. The back of the stand gets a decorative finish. source |
| Rigging | Hung structures up to 7 m in the exhibition area, if the hall does not limit it. In Halls 1, 2, 5, 7, 8.0 and 8.1, a maximum of 150 kg per point. source |
| Noise | Demonstrations may not exceed the background level by more than 3 dB and never 60 dB. If exceeded, Fira asks to turn the volume down. source |
| Catering and tasting | External catering follows the organiser’s rules. At food shows, whoever offers tastings is responsible for the safety of what is served. source |
| Build-up passes | All build-up and dismantling staff carry a named work pass, with a signed occupational risk sheet. Under-16s are not admitted to the halls on those days. source |

Designing a Seafood Expo Global stand with chilling, tasting and a country pavilion well solved
At a seafood show chilling rules: space, power and drainage depend on it. So we draw it before the frontage, together with the tasting and the buyer’s route.
Chilling from the drawing
Showcases and chambers with power and drainage planned from the drawing, built into the joinery and easy to clean.
Tasting with food safety
At food shows, whoever offers tastings is responsible for the safety of what is served, and we design with that in mind.
A table to talk volumes
A seated corner, to one side of the aisle, to negotiate species, sizes and delivery calmly.
A pavilion with identity
If you represent a country, a shared module and graphics that identify it from afar, with spaces per company.

What pushes up the budget of a Seafood Expo Global stand with chilling and tasting
We do not give figures without seeing your plot: the cost of a Seafood Expo Global stand depends on the metres, the chilling and the tasting. These are the six factors.
Chilling and chambers
The more chilled product, the more power, drainage and fabrication must be planned from the drawing.
Tasting
A counter with service adds furniture, water and cleaning, as well as space that cannot be used otherwise.
Country pavilion
Several companies under one identity need modules, a shared design and coordination of who builds what.
Meeting tables
Every table or room adds furniture and reduces the open surface of the stand.
Height and hung brand
Raising the brand above the general height needs a complex structure and an approved project.
Reusing the stand
A modular design pays off if you return to the show or take the stand to other food shows.
