Výstaviště Lysá nad Labem

What Výstaviště Lysá nad Labem does

Výstaviště Lysá nad Labem, s.r.o. is a privately-held Czech exhibition and trade fair center founded in 1994 and located in Lysá nad Labem, near Prague. The company operates a physical venue comprising approximately 5,100 m² of indoor exhibition space across Halls A1, A2, B, and C, together with outdoor paved exhibition areas, all equipped with heating, cooling, utilities, and Wi-Fi. Its core business is event-driven: the company organizes and hosts approximately 14–15 themed annual exhibitions spanning horses, agriculture and livestock, horticulture (dahlias, bonsai), exotic flora and fauna, automobiles, food and beverages, retro vehicles, and Christmas markets, several of which are category leaders in the Czech Republic (Natura Viva, Exotika) or the oldest of their kind in Central Europe (Kůň).

Revenue is generated through five distinct streams: (1) consumer ticket sales priced at 200 CZK for standard adult admission with annual passes at 1,300 CZK, (2) exhibition space rental to exhibitors via booth and registration fees, (3) private facility rental for conferences, concerts, balls, corporate events, and film productions, (4) parking fees of 100–150 CZK per day, and (5) advertising and sponsorship within the venue. The customer base is horizontal, consisting of general public visitors on the demand side and a long tail of regional SME exhibitors (agriculture, equestrian, publishing, equipment, machinery) on the supply side, with no single anchor tenant. Go-to-market is multi-channel: an owned website with online ticketing (vll.cz), email newsletter, Facebook/Instagram/Threads presence, PR/media outreach, and a dedicated commercial sales team that recruits exhibitors directly. The company employs 11–50 staff under Director Mgr. Ondřej Matouš and a team of exhibition and commercial managers. No AI, proprietary software platform, or external funding is disclosed; the business is wholly self-funded and family/private-equity-free based on available information.
