CDMX Q2 2026 corporate event: mid-year, April-June trade shows, Expo Seguridad, Expo Negocios, results-against-plan review and mid-year protocol

The second quarter (April-June) of the corporate year in Mexico City concentrates mid-fiscal-year, mid-year trade shows (Expo Seguridad México, Expo Pack, Hecho en México, Mexico Travel Mart, ABASTUR, Hotel & Restaurant Expo, PRODCOMM, Automatización, Expo Manufactura, Expo Publicidad, Expo Gas Neumática, Semana de la PyME, Talent Land when CDMX-hosted, Expo México Diseño), first-half anniversary events running in the first half and product launches needing positioning before July's Hot Sale. A corporate that runs the mid-year without a half-year close event misses the chance to evaluate results against Q1 plan, re-orient staff towards H2 objectives and position the corporate at mid-year trade shows. We work with corporates across CDMX and the metro area (Miguel Hidalgo, Cuauhtémoc, Benito Juárez, Álvaro Obregón, Coyoacán, Tlalpan, Magdalena Contreras, Gustavo A. Madero, Azcapotzalco, Cuajimalpa, Iztapalapa, Tláhuac, Xochimilco, Venustiano Carranza and Iztacalco), including operations based in Santa Fe, Polanco, Lomas de Chapultepec, Paseo de la Reforma, Insurgentes Sur, Roma-Condesa, Del Valle, San Ángel and Ciudad Satélite, and invoice with CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with the 16% IVA breakdown.

Five layers of the CDMX Q2 2026 corporate event
