Expo Tel Aviv: About
Expo Tel Aviv, also known as the Tel Aviv Convention Center, is a large events venue located in Tel Aviv, Israel. It is a popular destination for trade shows, conventions, concerts, and other large-scale events.
The complex was originally built in 1932 and has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years to accommodate the growing demand for event space in Tel Aviv. Today, it features multiple exhibition halls, conference rooms, and outdoor spaces, spanning over 150,000 square meters.
Expo Tel Aviv has hosted a wide range of international events, including the Eurovision Song Contest in 1979 and 1999, the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest, and numerous trade shows and conferences. It is also the regular venue for the annual Tel Aviv Fashion Week.
The convention center is easily accessible by public transportation and offers ample parking for visitors. In addition to its event spaces, it also features a range of amenities, including restaurants, cafes, and shops.
When A Vision Becomes A Reality
The year 1923, the idea of hosting local and international fairs and events in Israel began circulating in “Little Tel Aviv” in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Endowed with a sense of higher purpose, local private entrepreneurs began producing exhibitions and fairs funded with their own money. Their vision was to develop and cultivate a modest local industry. What started as a small-scale operation gradually grew to impressive proportions and they were looked upon as an opportunity to demonstrate and share with the world success stories from the Zionist movement in many fields such as agriculture, technology, food and more.
Over the early years, the Fair center had experience ups and down, changed locations until it based it’s final destination on Rokah boulevard.
Today, Expo Tel Aviv hosts 2.5 million visitors a year and hosts hundreds of exhibitions and conferences & events a year. Overseeing 80 years of lively activities taking place in the center is the “Flying Camel” – which symbolizes both the Middle – East alongside the power of imagination, innovation and creativity.
What began as a modest initiative of a few private entrepreneurs on a mission became over the years a series of enterprises whose influence had expanded beyond the borders of the city and country.
