Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Expo Proteção 2027 usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
T-1
Lock in your visa route first: commercial travellers commonly use Brazil's VIVIS business visa, and eligible nationalities can apply for the Electronic Visitor Visa (e-Visa); apply through the Brazilian consulate covering your residence well inside the two-week window.
T-2
Register on expoprotecao.com.br and note which parallel sessions (SemInário O Futuro da SST, PrevTrauma, SemInário Controle de Emergências, and the fire and SST events) need a separate sign-up.
T-3
Book flights into GRU (Guarulhos) or CGH (Congonhas) and decide your airport-to-hotel plan early; captured guides cover taxi, ride-hailing and airport services from GRU, with travel time heavily traffic dependent.
T-4
Reserve accommodation in the Imigrantes/Jabaquara cluster for walking distance to São Paulo Expo, or in Ibirapuera, Moema or Congonhas, keeping metro Jabaquara (Line 1 - Blue) plus an onward taxi or rideshare as your transit fallback.
T-5
Confirm the hotel's BRL rate and whether international cards are accepted without surcharge; treat Google Hotels quotes as indicative rather than final.
T-6
Map the halls you actually need: PPE/EPI, fire protection, emergency response, occupational health and safety services, plus the Revenda EPI reseller track if you buy or distribute PPE.
T-7
Build a supplier shortlist before you fly: use the organiser's exhibitor search or Expo Connect meeting tool to request appointments with the companies you want to compare side by side.
T-8
Check whether any parallel conference or seminar pass is included with visitor registration or has to be bought separately.
T-9
Pack for a São Paulo winter: mild days, cooler mornings and evenings, low August rainfall, comfortable shoes for a large fairground and a light waterproof layer.
T-10
Sort payment practicalities: BRL cash or a card that works locally for incidentals, metro singles and taxi fares in the Imigrantes and Jabaquara area.
T-11
If you are sourcing NR-compliant equipment, note the Norma Regulamentadora number you are buying against so you can ask exhibitors the right compliance questions at the stand.
T-12
Keep the organiser site and the São Paulo Expo location page bookmarked for final hall plans and any last-minute registration or badge-collection instructions.
