About the venue
Centro Citibanamex sits at Av. del Conscripto 311, Lomas de Sotelo, Miguel Hidalgo borough, 25 minutes from Mexico City International Airport (IATA: MEX) and 15 minutes from the Centro Histórico. The complex combines Hall A and Hall B (approximately 35,000 square metres of column-free exhibition space), the Concourse and registration area, the Terrace Atrium for 1,200 attendees and the Avanta business centre for 400 attendees. The complex is administered by Citibanamex (the consumer and commercial banking arm of Citigroup Mexico) under a long-term naming-rights agreement.
The annual exhibition calendar covers more than 250 trade shows. The flagship events — Expo Transforma (corporate-transformation conference), The Green Expo (sustainability and ESG), Industrial Transformation Mexico (manufacturing and Industry 4.0), the CONCANACO Expo (national commerce chamber), the tourism-trade fair, the pharmacy and medical-device fairs, the SaaS conference circuit — draw 15,000 to 60,000 attendees per event. The BTL activation circuit runs year-round with brand teams activating at the Concourse, the loading-dock area and the Terrace Atrium.
