Today we are not launching just another trade fair. Today, we are making history.

For the first time, the plastics, rubber, and cable industry in Latin America has its own dedicated space, designed exclusively for it. A unique meeting point where manufacturers, processors, distributors, and buyers from across the region can connect with each other and access — without barriers — the global suppliers of machinery, raw materials, and technology that are shaping the future of the sector.

That is ExpoGPA 2026. And there is nothing like it in the region.

Over the next 90 days, we will experience something that no webinar, no online catalog, and no traditional trade fair has ever been able to offer before: an interactive 3D virtual fair where you tour booths, watch live demonstrations from factories and laboratories, negotiate via video call, request instant quotes, and schedule business meetings — all from your browser, with no travel costs or downtime.

During this opening ceremony, Eng. Giovanni Guarin M., CEO of GPA SAS, with 30 years of experience in cables and plastics, will deliver the welcome address and present the activities that make ExpoGPA 2026 a milestone for the sector: more than 20 global exhibitors, 19 live technical conferences during the first two days, plant-floor demonstrations, an active 3-month B2B agenda, 24/7 AI robots, and new experiences that will be added until July 24.

Message to visitors to make the most of this one-of-a-kind event:

What you have in front of you will never happen again in quite the same way. So, to get the maximum technical and business value:

• Explore the 3D booths as if you were at a physical fair — but without leaving your office or plant.
• Take advantage of the 19 technical conferences on April 23–24: this is expert knowledge that previously could only be found at international fairs outside the region.
• Use the real-time negotiation tools: chat, video calls, one-click quote requests, and meeting scheduling.
• Talk to each brand's AI robot: get instant technical answers 24/7 in Spanish, English, or Portuguese.
• Come back throughout the 90 days. This is not a two-day event. Until July 24, new activities, guided tours, and experiences will be activated.

ExpoGPA 2026 is the first step toward building, together, what the region deserves. It is not just another space. It is the space we never had before. Welcome.
