Exhibition stands in Barcelona,
from EHA to ESMO
at Fira Gran Via.
Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Montjuïc and CCIB: we plan, build and support exhibition stands and congress booths in Barcelona, from a single source and with a single point of contact.
Barcelona is one of the cities the major European medical congresses and international trade fairs keep coming back to. Below the city are the grounds we have built on and the other venues in town.

At Fira Barcelona Gran Via we built at CPHI Barcelona 2023, when the pharmaceutical industry's leading trade show was held in Barcelona. The grounds are in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, 12 kilometers from the airport, with their own metro connection on the L9 South line.
In 2027 Gran Via hosts, among others, the hematology congress EHA in June and the oncology congress ESMO in September, plus trade fairs such as ISE, MWC and Vitafoods Europe. On top of that comes the CCIB congress center by the Fòrum, with room for up to 15,000 people.
For your presence that means: registration, stand approval, logistics, build-up and on-site support are with us, through one point of contact from the first concept to dismantling. For builds outside Germany and Austria we work with partners from the IFES network.

From the first idea to dismantling in Barcelona, your presence runs through one point of contact, in five steps
Strategy
Understanding your goals, audience, and constraints. We ask the questions your previous agencies didn't.
Brand analysis, brief, venue research, budget framework
Concept
Creative ideation grounded in strategy. Not design for design's sake — design that serves your exhibition goals.
Mood boards, 3D concepts, visitor flow planning
Design
Full 3D visualization before you commit. You see your stand from every angle before a single material is ordered.
3D renderings, material selection, lighting design, technical drawings
Production
The right specialists from our network, coordinated by your PM. Quality control at every checkpoint.
Partner selection, material sourcing, build supervision, logistics planning
Realisation
On-site from build-up to teardown. When the venue changes the floor plan at 9 PM, your PM calls back in 10 minutes with a solution.
Installation, onsite support, dismantling, storage & reuse planning
One point of contact, an international network and a certified management system: this is what we bring to Barcelona
Our headquarters are in Hochheim am Main, with further offices in Austria and Poland. For projects abroad we work with partners from the IFES network, and your project manager stays the same.
Get in touchOne point of contact
Concept and design, planning, production, logistics, build-up, dismantling and on-site support run through one person, from the first sketch to the last day of dismantling.
300+ network partners worldwide
Through IFES, the international federation of exhibition stand builders, we work with more than 300 partners worldwide and coordinate builds in more than 45 countries.
Building stands since 1992
More than 30 years and over 4,500 projects, around 260 stands a year, for clients in more than 45 countries.
DIN ISO 20121:2025 certified
Our management system is certified to DIN ISO 20121:2025. Plus 20 Better Stands certifications since 2023, 13 of them gold and 7 silver.
Stands at medical congresses are covered by confidentiality agreements, which is why we show no photos
EHA and ESMO are medical congresses, and our stands at congresses like these are covered by an NDA. Product visuals, medical areas and stand designs stay on protected networks. That is why you see no picture from the congress halls here, but the way we work behind it: strict separation of medical and commercial, approval codes, graphic reference checks and documented materials.

Frequently asked questions about exhibition stands in Barcelona
What exhibitors ask us most often about Barcelona. If your question isn't here, let's talk about it.
Ask us directlyWhere do trade fairs and congresses take place in Barcelona?
Most of the large trade fairs and congresses take place at Fira Barcelona Gran Via in L'Hospitalet, in 2027 including EHA, ESMO, ISE, MWC and Vitafoods Europe. On top of that come the historic Fira Montjuïc grounds and the CCIB congress center by the Fòrum.
How high can a stand be at Fira Gran Via?
The Fira's technical regulations generally allow up to 5 meters, as long as hall height and stand proportions permit. A stand in Halls 2 and 3 that sits entirely under the connecting walkway is limited to 4 meters, as are stands in the links between Halls 4 and 6 and 5 and 7. The rules of each event may differ.
Are two-story stands possible at Fira Gran Via?
Yes, as a so-called complex structure. Two-story stands and anything above 5 meters need a project signed by a certified technician, including structural calculations, the Fira's approval and an inspection during build-up. Closed rooms below a second level also need a smoke detection system.
Can elements be hung from the hall ceiling in Barcelona?
Only through the Fira itself. Rigging points are installed exclusively by the Fira's official providers, and hanging anything directly from the hall ceiling is prohibited. The limits are 15 kilograms per square meter and 150 kilograms per point, 250 kilograms in Halls 3, 4 and 6.
Which fire safety classes does Fira de Barcelona require?
Class C-s2,d0 for wall and ceiling coverings and Class 1 under UNE-EN 13773 for hanging textiles. The Fira accepts certificates under DIN 4102-B1 or equivalent standards.
Which congresses and trade fairs are coming up in Barcelona in 2027?
ISE in February, MWC in March, Vitafoods Europe in May, the European Hematology Association congress in June and the ESMO congress in September, all at Fira Gran Via. The calendar further down lists every event in our selection with its next date.
