Corporate Merch for Events at Centro de Congresos de Veracruz
Centro de Congresos de Veracruz is the principal convention venue of the port city of Veracruz and the Boca del Río metropolitan area. Located in the heart of the Veracruz commercial district, it hosts corporate conventions, port-city industry events, Gulf-corridor logistics summits, the Veracruz Coffee Fair, the Salsa Festival and a steady year-round calendar of mid-sized trade shows. We produce merch for official sponsors, BTL activation agencies and visiting brand teams.
About the venue
Centro de Congresos de Veracruz sits at Av. Salvador Díaz Mirón s/n, near the Malecón of Veracruz and the historic fortress of San Juan de Ulúa, 10 minutes from the Veracruz International Airport (IATA: VER). The venue combines a main exhibition hall of approximately 8,000 square metres with multiple breakout rooms, a grand ballroom for 1,500 attendees and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The complex is administered by the Veracruz state tourism agency (SECTUR Veracruz) and managed in partnership with the Grupo Veracruzano de Congresos.
Veracruz itself is one of the oldest port cities in the Americas and the operational anchor of Mexico's Gulf-coast logistics corridor. The city's main industries — petrochemicals through PEMEX, port logistics through API Veracruz, coffee and vanilla through the Veracruz Coffee Council, traditional Mexican cuisine through the city's restaurant cluster — generate a steady stream of industry events and corporate retreats. The annual Veracruz Coffee Fair (October) and the Salsa Festival (May) are the headline public events; the port-logistics, petrochemical and hospitality conferences run on a year-round cadence.
