About FIBES Sevilla
FIBES Sevilla — the commercial name for the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones de Sevilla, run by the municipal entity Contursa — is the reference trade-fair and congress venue for southern Spain. It sits in the Los Bermejales district, southwest of the municipal boundary, near the Store industrial estate and roughly five kilometres from the historic centre. The full postal address is Av. Alcalde Luis Uruñuela 1, 41020 Sevilla (province of Sevilla, autonomous community of Andalusia, postal code 41020, ES).
The complex is composed of two main buildings: the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos (PEC) — recognisable by its parabolic arch — and the Palacio de Congresos proper, linked by internal walkways. Together it spans more than 60,000 m² of gross area, distributed across two exhibition halls (Pabellón 1 around 11,500 m² and Pabellón 2 around 5,700 m²), modular rooms for smaller events, and a covered auditorium with capacity for roughly 3,000 spectators used for concerts, gala dinners and plenary sessions.
FIBES hosts around thirty B2B trade fairs and professional congresses a year across tourism MICE platforms such as TIS (Tourism Innovation Summit), agri-food, the Andalusian aerospace cluster (nearby Aerópolis), olive-oil and EVOO denominations like DOP Sierra de Cazorla, DOP Antequera and DOP Lucena, healthcare and biomedicine, and Andalusian culture and flamenco (Sevilla Tapas Week, SIMOF). Professional organisers — Ifema, FYCMA, Easyfairs and Contursa itself — fill the calendar.
For marketing, communications and operations teams that need to source branded merch for an event held here, we work as an external branded-merchandise supplier: we are not the event organiser nor an official venue partner. Our job is to manufacture and deliver the exhibitor's branded goods, not to provide services inside the venue itself.
Access, public transport and nearby hotels
FIBES Sevilla is in the Los Bermejales district, connected to the city by several public transport lines and with immediate entry from the SE-30 ring road and the A-49 motorway.
Metro and tram: MetroCentro does not reach the venue. Metro Line 1 of Sevilla Metro serves the Blas Infante stop (12-15 minutes' walk). Tram MetroCentro Tramo 1 stops in the historic centre and requires a bus transfer.
City buses: Tussam (Transportes Urbanos de Sevilla) lines 5, 6 and 34 connect the centre and the Los Remedios district to the «FIBES» stop on Avenida Alcalde Luis Uruñuela. Special shuttle services are scheduled for major events.
Suburban rail: San Bernardo station (Cercanías C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 by Renfe) is the main interchange — from there, metro, bus or tram reach FIBES in 20-30 minutes.
Airport: Sevilla Airport (SVQ) is 10 km north of the venue (15-20 minutes via the A-49).
Nearby hotels for corporate delegations: Hotel Sevilla Center (2.5 km), Hotel Silken Al-Andalus Palace (3 km), NH Collection Sevilla (5 km), Hotel Meliá Lebreros (3.5 km), Hotel Ribera de Triana (4.5 km), Hotel Catalonia Santa Justa (5.5 km) and Hesperia Sevilla (6 km). For large hotel blocks during TIS or similar events, the centre and Triana offer the densest room inventory. Hotel Vértice Sevilla (2 km) and Hotel Exe Sevilla Palmera (1.8 km) are the closest to the venue itself.
Parking: the venue runs free outdoor parking for accredited visitors; the disuasorio at the Estadio Benito Villamarín (Tussam line 5) is a frequent overflow during large fairs.

On-site logistics and booth delivery
For direct booth delivery during event build-up, FIBES runs loading docks at Pabellón 1 and Pabellón 2. We work to deliver 24-48 hours before opening, during build-up hours (usually one or two days before opening). The shipping label includes: exhibitor name, booth number, order reference, package count, weight, and a stand-side contact (ID / name / mobile).
For fairs with mandatory accreditation (TIS, SIMOF), the carrier must be pre-registered in the organiser's build-up access list. That coordination is the exhibitor's or their event agency's responsibility, not ours: we deliver to the booth during build-up, we do not manage on-the-ground access passes.
For deliveries to the team hotel block (Sevilla Center, Silken Al-Andalus, NH Collection), delivery happens the day before the team arrives, with margin for the hotel reception to validate bulky packages.
Standard Madrid-to-Sevilla shipping is 24-48 h via SEUR (SEUR Classic 24h or SEUR 14) or MRW (Económico or Urgente 24). For tight deadlines we recommend DHL Express España (delivery before 10:00, 12:00 or 19:00 by tariff).
Sustainability and materials
For FIBES events with a sustainability profile (Greencities, CSR forums, organic agriculture fairs), we usually recommend materials with verifiable certifications: GOTS organic cotton, GRS recycled polyester, FSC papers, water-based solvent-free inks and kraft cardboard packaging without plastic laminate. Bottles and food-contact items carry EU 1935/2004 and Regulation EU 10/2011 certifications. Tote bags are available in GOTS organic cotton or GRS-recycled rPET, both with traceability documentation.
For premium gift sets we work with kraft paper packaging, recycled cardboard boxes and cotton or satin tapes; single-use plastic in packaging is avoided whenever the client requests it.
Production processes and personalisation techniques
Personalisation is carried out with the standard techniques of the sector: screen printing (up to 6 colours), flat and 3D embroidery (Richelieu available for premium embroidery), DTF digital transfer (full colour on polyester or cotton), laser engraving (to metal bottles, metal powerbanks, synthetic-leather agendas), sublimation (mugs, tiles, white polyester), pad printing (small metal souvenirs) and UV-DTF printing (small high-volume details).
Materials we commonly work with: 100% combed cotton, GOTS organic cotton, cotton-polyester blends, GRS recycled polyester, rPET, recycled nylon, stone paper, FSC cardboard, synthetic leather and recycled leather for premium desktop items, 304 stainless steel for bottles and food-contact items, FSC-certified bamboo for utensils and pens.
