IFX EXPO is one of the FX industry's flagship global gatherings, drawing brokers, liquidity providers, payment-service providers, technology vendors and the broader fintech ecosystem to Limassol each June. The Limassol edition is the year's Cyprus fixture, and for the FX brokers, PSPs and fintech platforms headquartered along the coastal business district it is the most important local conference on the calendar. The audience is a mix of regional brokers, payment-service teams, compliance officers, KYC/AML vendors and technology partners; most of them have already met before, but the merch programme is the calling card that introduces a new brokerage to a regional PSP, a regional PSP to an international liquidity provider, or a local compliance consultancy to a tier-1 broker's compliance officer.
A typical brief that lands on our desk combines 220 GSM organic-cotton polos with embroidery of the broker mark for booth staff and account managers walking the aisles, light layers for the often air-conditioned halls, recycled-cotton tote bags and 500 ml stainless-steel bottles with single-colour engraving for fast counter hand-out, thick-ribbon lanyards with metal snap and credential holders for the thousands of credentialed trade visitors, 5 000–10 000 mAh power banks with integrated cable for qualified leads from PSPs and brokers, and gift boxes with engraved glass, pen and notebook for VIPs and operators invited to dinners along the Limassol seafront. For European exhibitors flying from Madrid, Frankfurt or Amsterdam, the issue is not just printing the artwork: it is coordinating quantities by shift, pre-labelling by recipient tier, avoiding customs surprises on entry to Cyprus (intra-EU shipment, no customs duty but a CMR note is recommended), and keeping margin for emergency restock at the venue when stock runs out before noon of day two.
The operational advantage of an IFX EXPO programme shipped from Spain is the EU-to-Spain-to-Cyprus lane. Production runs on our Madrid hub with a 7–10 working-day window for stock items (white polos, tote bags, lanyards, bottles) and 10–14 working days for pieces with bespoke embroidery (broker logo, country of origin, stand number); air freight delivers to a Limassol consignee in 96–120 h via Larnaca LCA airport or direct seamair from Valencia/Algeciras consolidates in 5–7 working days to a Limassol logistics warehouse. For VIP sets and gift boxes we recommend closing the order 4–5 weeks before so we can present a physical prototype to the client and validate packaging, engraving and personalised card.
220 GSM organic-cotton polos with embroidery of the broker mark for booth staff and account managers, breathable T-shirts for the floor team, softshell light layers for the often cool air-conditioned halls in June, and caps and aprons for hospitality staff at the partner lounges and evening dinners.
Recycled-cotton tote bags with two-colour screen print, 500 ml stainless-steel bottles with single-colour laser engraving, A6 notebooks with recycled-paper cover, blue-ink pens with cardboard barrel, thick-ribbon lanyards with metal snap and transparent credential holders for IFX EXPO badges.
5 000–10 000 mAh power banks with integrated USB-C cable, wireless Qi pads, slim metal cardholders, premium cork and bamboo desk sets, and in-ear headphones with charging case — reserved for conversations with PSPs, brokers, liquidity providers and compliance officers identified in the exhibitor CRM.
Boxes with engraved glass, premium pen and notebook for VIP operators and PSP executives, 12 L backpacks with padded laptop compartment for visiting technical press, numbered sets for association officials and regulators, and neutral packaging with personalised card for authorities and keynote guests at the partner dinners.
The IFX EXPO calendar leaves little margin: the average exhibitor locks the product list and quantities six weeks before doors open and needs a physical prototype approved four weeks before to avoid marking errors that get paid in reprints. We usually hold reserved stock in the Madrid hub for recurring pieces (white polos, tote bags, lanyards, bottles) that we can produce and deliver in 7–10 working days; for pieces with bespoke embroidery (broker logo, country of origin, stand number) the window stretches to 10–14 working days. For VIP sets and gift boxes we recommend closing the order 4–5 weeks before so we can present a physical prototype to the client and validate packaging, engraving and personalised card.
For European exhibitors with a freight-forwarder partner in Cyprus we deliver to the forwarder's hub address in Limassol (typically the warehouse district near the old port or the industrial area of Mesa Geitonia) where the client's internal team consolidates and repacks for the venue. For exhibitors flying with the merch as accompanied baggage we deliver to the named consignee at Larnaca LCA airport, at the team's Limassol hotel (Amathus, Four Seasons, Parklane), or directly to the stand after the loading window is confirmed by the organiser. As Cyprus is an EU member state there is no customs duty on goods originating in Spain; we issue the EUR invoice with 21% VAT added and the client applies the intra-EU VIES reverse-charge if it is registered for VAT in Cyprus. For non-EU delegations we coordinate with the freight forwarder and ship with the import paperwork already processed.
The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added, dispatched via FACe and the Suministro Inmediato de Información (SII) of the Agencia Tributaria (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without VAT citing the relevant EU directive article. Each delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note at destination and, when requested, with a photo of the material unloaded at the Limassol consignee address. The returns flow is documented on the day-three breakdown and any residual stock is consolidated back to the Madrid hub under the compliance officer's sign-off.
IFX EXPO International Limassol takes place in June 2026 in Limassol, Cyprus. The official dates, venue name and the loading-window schedule are confirmed against the current exhibitor manual on ifxexpo.com; we use that reference for every shipment that cannot tolerate a date slip.
Yes, with a prior slot. The Limassol venue ramp has limited loading windows (morning of the day before doors open) and requires a delivery note signed by the exhibitor; we recommend combining that delivery with backup stock at the freight-forwarder hub or at the team's hotel for emergency restock during the show.
We coordinate with the client's freight forwarder. We invoice in EUR and deliver the material to the forwarder's warehouse in Limassol with the import paperwork already processed by the client; the forwarder handles the clearance and the final delivery to the venue ramp.
