The Expat Fair is the only event of its kind in Bucharest* — the first
large-scale meeting point for internationals and services tailored to
their needs.
The aim of this event is to offer a full day of information and inspiration for expats &
internationals living in Bucharest, to welcome and help them Feel at Home in Romania together
with our trusted partners, workshops and networking — all under the same roof.
The event answers an increasing need for meet and greet opportunities for the expat community.
Over 600 visitors expected, including representatives of the City Compass network: guest
writers, entrepreneurs, diplomatic representatives in Romania, expat group members, expat
CEOs and department leaders of the TOP 100 companies with their husbands/wifes and
family.
The event is supported and endorsed by several partner embassies, international schools, and
chambers of commerce due to its relevance in their communities.
Similar events in other European cities such as Munich, Rotterdam, Zurich, and Copenhagen
have attracted over 4,000 visitors.

Testimonials
Elena Grecu
Lawyer Intellectual Property Counselor, GRECU LAWYERS
Susan Eriksson
Head of School, KING’S OAK BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (former InSPE)
“We were exhibitors at the first edition of the Expat Fair in Bucharest in October 2015, which was
very successful.
The school received lots of interest. We have recently had two new parents join the school because
they met us there, and 4 new children became our pupils as a direct result of the fair.
Thank you so much for organising another Expat Fair. We were delighted with the results from the
last fair and will certainly be attending the second edition of the fair in April 2016.”
“We had the pleasure of working together for Expat Fair, as GrecuLawyers provided the legal
counseling, so we had an idea of what we should expect. The actual event surpassed our expectations,
the people we met, old friends and new ones, bringing smiles and value to our experience.
For us professionally the event was successful as we found new clients that in this short amount of
time have become also friends. We believe in being friends with our clients, as working together and
being able to provide with the exact desired outcome cannot be made without a certain degree of
trust and communication, the foundation of a great relationship.”
