Leman Expat Fair, Morges
Morges, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The Lake Geneva area has numerous business and social clubs and networking groups for the English-speaking in international population that welcome newcomers, but every autumn the region is home to two events, each of which pull in a few thousand visitors, which make it easy for new arrivals to learn more about the region.
The family-centred indoors fairs, held on separate Sundays, introduce visitors to primarily English-language services and shops in the region, from clubs to insurance and banking advice, including a host of products. The Leman Expat Fair in Morges Sunday 27 is the first of these, with 100 exhibitors in the intimate setting of the Beausobre Theatre. The second is Expat Expo, with 180 exhibitors at Palexpo, Geneva’s large exhibition space near the airport.
Both offer free admission and plenty of giveaways. Check their web sites for details, as well as the GenevaLunch events pages for times and locations.
Ed. note: GenevaLunch will be at the Leman Expat Fair Sunday 27 September. We are unlikely to be able to join Expat Expo because of a date conflict, but we support the efforts of both groups to reach out to as many members of the international community as possible.

Transparence SA, a Geneva-based company founded in 2007 by Veerle Vanwauwe to promote clean gold through its online retail platform, transparencedesign.com, was named by IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) in July as one of its Women Environmental Entrepreneurs. She was invited to participate in its world congress in Barcelona, Spain this week but Vanwauwe returns home in time to join Expat-Expo as one of its newcomer exhibitors. [Ed. note: See Vanwauwe interview in GL, "Real hope diamonds are traceable"]
Expat-Expo is in its third year in Geneva and while the newness of a fair aimed at the Lake Geneva area’s English-speaking population has worn off, the interest has not.
