Expo Georgia

What Expo Georgia does

Expo Georgia is the only dedicated exhibition and conference center in Georgia and ranks among the leading venues in the South Caucasus region, headquartered at 118 Tsereteli Avenue, Tbilisi. Founded in 1958 under Soviet-era industrial planning and privatized as a joint-stock company (სამშენებლო მასალების საერთაშორისო გამოფენა) in 1996, it operates 11 modern exhibition pavilions totaling 7,410 sqm of indoor space within a 140,000 sqm rentable footprint that includes conference facilities, a restaurant, parking, a greenhouse, and 29,199 sqm of landscaped outdoor area. The company became a full member of UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, in 2005.

The business operates three distinct revenue streams. First, exhibition and event space rental — pavilions, conference halls (with movable walls and modern equipment), and outdoor areas are leased to event organizers. Second, full-service event management, encompassing catering, inventory rental, and on-site coordination for events run by other initiators. Third, commercial real estate rental, leasing office space within the complex to businesses (buildings capable of hosting 800 to 2,300+ office users). In parallel, Expo Georgia develops and operates its own branded trade fair portfolio, hosting roughly 10 exhibitions per year across verticals that include energy (Georgian Energy Exhibition and Forum), wine and alcoholic beverages (WinExpo Georgia), agriculture and food processing (Agro/Food Drink Tech Expo, 19-year history), construction (BuildExpo Georgia), tourism (Georgian Tourism Fair), education (Education Expo Georgia, 14 countries), contemporary art (Tbilisi Art Fair), real estate (Real Estate Week), and publishing (Tbilisi Book Days).

Three customer segments are served: business professionals and companies seeking B2B product showcasing and sourcing (primary); consumer visitors to public exhibitions; and government and public-sector event organizers hosting B2G events. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; distribution is direct from the Tbilisi sales team. No mobile app, API, SDK, or proprietary technology is offered, and marketing is conducted through the company website, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Total event count since founding is reported at 300+, with 132 listed events and 10 exhibitions held annually.
