Expat Expo 2009

Expat Expo 2009, the first in the Czech Republic, will open its gates to visitors at Prague Exhibition Grounds Holešovice on October 31 at 9 a.m. The event is a unique opportunity for everyone living in Prague and its surroundings. It is organized by Prague Solutions s.r.o., a local company specializing in tailor-made solutions and comprehensive support for foreigners living in or relocating to Prague and other Czech cities through its two branches, ReloCare and ExpatCare.

This is the first event of its kind on the Czech market to assemble in the same place and time many companies tending to expatriates´ daily needs and wants. Although there have been some attempts at such an event before, no one has ever managed the scope of Expat Expo , where about 80 exhibitors will present and offer their products and services in the fields of banking, education, real estate, health care, travel, catering and leisure, and others. Expat Expo 2009 is also unique in that it is a B2B, B2C and C2C — consumer-to-consumer — event. An important goal of this inaugural edition is also social, to facilitate the gathering of people who may occasionally otherwise convene in individual national or professional groups but who rarely meet all together. The social function will be highlighted by two charities, the International Women´s Association of Prague and the Tereza Maxova Foundation, which will present their programs and give expats an opportunity to donate to worthwhile causes in their adopted country.

Here´s a taste of what´s to come in addition to exhibitors´ booths and the program:
 
Mother and baby corner (for up to 18 months old) and a playground for older children, both featuring special programs; arts and craft activities and entertainment for children, including magicians, jugglers, animal balloon show, Professor Bubble Show and “Fun to cook”; pictures taken free of charge in the Photo Studio Corner; Halloween costume competition; onstage performances by students from Prague international schools; international food, handicrafts sale and a raffle prize drawing at 5:30 p.m.

Prague Solutions s.r.o. is a company whose goal and credo is to ease the lives of foreigners, individuals and companies, moving to or living and functioning in the Czech Republic. Its management have ample experience in tourist care, real estate and relocation services and particularly red-tape untangling gained during many years of expat life in Prague.
