GuyExpo 2024 launched, to feature some 250 booths

GuyExpo, Guyana’s largest trade expo, was officially launched on Friday. Scheduled to take place from November 14 to 17, the event is set to showcase approximately 250 booths and attract over 100,000 attendees.

The expo, recognized as the longest-running trade show in the Caribbean, was inaugurated by Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Oneidge Walrond at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre in Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara.

Under the theme, “Guyana on Show: The Fastest Growing Economy,” the registration period is open from October 1 to 30. Prospective participants can register online at www.guyexpo.gy or in person at the National Sophia Exhibition Centre.

The expo will feature international and service pavilions, a main auditorium suited for manufacturers, designated spaces for agro-processors, a food court, and a fun games section for children.

After a six-year hiatus, the event resumed last year and will highlight both emerging and established businesses.

“What makes it unique is that all Guyanese come out, from all walks of life. It’s an event where you see full participation from all of Guyana,” Minister Walrond told the News Room.

The inaugural GuyExpo was held in 1995.
