45% OF THE ENTIRE EXPO ZONE HAS BEEN SNAPPED UP
The festival is a key event in the commercial calendar of cycling brands

The festival (The Bike Show in Europe) and its surroundings (Girona – Costa Brava) attract participants from all over Europe who are eager to enjoy a weekend of cycling. The event boasts a full sports programme and an expo zone featuring the best brands in the world of cycling situated in a place known as a cycling paradise (with a warm climate, many bike-friendly restaurants and roads where professional cyclists from ProTour teams train) – a paradise for cyclists and therefore also for brands.

The brands are making their preparations so they don’t fail to make an impact at the festival in the presence of approximately 60,000 visitors, based on the number that registered in 2019 (source: Goufone), from 50 different countries. The brands’ objectives consist of activating their brand, finding new customers, carrying out direct sales, performing product tests, offering discounts and draws, and much more. And the ways in which all this can be achieved are endless.

Planning the festival is like a creative puzzle, which stimulates the organisers further, in light of the new ways that brands connect with visitors and create experiences. Hence, the slogan The Bike Show in Europe not only gives credit to the organisers, but, in many ways, it’s the exhibitors who achieve this magic, employing tons of creativity for one goal: to create customer experiences and sell.
