Barcelona Meeting Point has been introducing innovations throughout the years to adapt at all times to the real estate industry's and the exhibitors' needs. At current, it can be considered one of the most important international real estate shows and Symposium in Europe.
It is an outstanding figure for BMP that an important number of foreign countries are present, this is what makes the difference regarding other local trade shows. The attendance of international exhibiting and participating companies has been increasing year after year until reaching a 75% at the Professional Exhibition in the 2008 edition. It is worth mentioning the ongoing support from the beginning of countries such as Portugal, United Kingdom, France or Germany, among others. Poland has been widely represented as well, and in addition, other Western Europe countries such as Russia, Ucraine, Romania and Bulgaria, or Turkey. Besides, countries with a huge tourism potential like Mexico or the Dominican Republic have had a large number of exhibiting countries, together with Brazil which, since 2007 has had an exclusively dedicated area, "Live & Invest in Brazil", the largest Brazilian real estate exhibition abroad. This initiative of having a guest country, with an own exhibiting area within the professional exhibition, was repeated in 2008 with Panama, where in 4,000 sq. m. the most important real estate companies of the country offered their products. Sao Paulo was the 'guest city'.
