There is a lot happening in the Portimão Arena over the weekend of October 11 and 12. BLiP Expo – The Better Living in Portugal Exhibition – is celebrating its 25th anniversary of bringing together a wide range of businesses and community projects to showcase their products and services to residents and property owners in a face-to-face setting – informal but professional.
Over 100 exhibitors will be waiting to answer your questions with the aim of “making life better”. Many will have special offers for BLiP visitors which we have summarised here, as known at the time of going to print, but there will certainly be additional offers during the BLiP weekend. See the full list of exhibitors and ask about special promotions when you visit their stands.
There may be terms and conditions attached to offers, so please make sure before you make a commitment. The exhibition organiserscannot be held responsible for the content or delivery of any exhibitor promotions.
