ABF, the leading Czech trade fair organiser, continues its dynamic growth. Alongside the international expansion of successful trade fair formats and the ongoing modernisation of the PVA EXPO PRAGUE exhibition venue, the company is now extending its activities to include the organisation of congresses, conferences, social events and other professional gatherings. The newly established ABF Conference Division will further strengthen support for industries, professional communities, partnerships and business development across a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors in the Czech Republic.
Since the 1990s, ABF has been one of the most prominent trade fair organisers in Central Europe, with dozens of events in its portfolio aimed at both professionals and the general public. The company creates environments where business, knowledge and innovation meet, fostering strong and lasting business relationships. ABF’s strategic objective is to integrate trade fairs, congresses, conferences and related services into a single, functional ecosystem designed to operate on a long-term, year-round basis across markets in the Czech Republic and abroad.
“By establishing a conference division, we have taken another important step towards positioning ABF not only as an organiser of successful trade fairs, but above all as a platform for business, networking and experiences. We are – and will continue to be – a reliable partner for professional communities, companies and investors who focus on the systematic development of their business. We are now evolving into a MICE and business platform that works strategically with communities, content and data, and that significantly contributes to achieving our clients’ objectives. Gradually, we are transforming into a company with international reach, offering a comprehensive portfolio of services and know-how within one integrated ecosystem,” said Martin František Přívětivý, Chief Executive Officer of ABF.
ABF has long maintained a key position within the Central European exhibition industry. Through the expansion of its service portfolio, the company reflects current market developments and growing demand from both Czech and international entities for expert content, networking opportunities and community-based knowledge sharing. Congresses, conferences and other professional events are an area in which ABF has many years of proven experience, a strong professional team and the know-how of a reliable partner with international credentials. As of February this year, the PVA EXPO PRAGUE exhibition venue has also become a member of the Prague Convention Bureau, the official representative of Prague in the MICE sector. Among the most prominent events in ABF’s portfolio are Czech Fashion Week, Prague Dental Days, Insurance Forum, Clean Mobility, and many others. Martina Sovová has been appointed Director of the Conference Division.
