Business etiquette
Brazilians are relationship-driven and informal — expect a firm handshake, first names early, and small talk before business. Be punctual for meetings; social events start later.
Tipping
Restaurants typically add a 10% service charge to the bill; round up for taxis and keep small cash for porters and hotel staff.
Dress and language
Smart business or business-casual dress suits the fair. Portuguese is the working language; English is common among exhibitor international sales teams but a translator or app helps off the show floor.
