FIBES Conference and Exhibition Centre, Exhibition and conference center in Seville, Spain
FIBES consists of two connected buildings: FIBES I, designed by Álvaro Navarro Jiménez, with three column-free pavilions of 7,200 m² each, and FIBES II, by Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra, with a 3,550-seat auditorium and a 620 m² stage. A large exhibition footbridge links both, giving a total area of 50,000 m².
The center opened in 1989 and quickly became a major destination for international business gatherings across southern Spain. Over the decades, it developed into a venue hosting significant regional and national events.
The name FIBES comes from Feria Iberoamericana de Sevilla, recalling the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition and the trade fair first held in 1961. Since 2012 it hosts Mangafest each November–December, the largest video-game and Asian-culture festival in southern Spain, alongside the flamenco fashion fair SIMOF and the horse fair SICAB.
The center is conveniently located near the airport with good public transport connections, making it easy for visitors to arrive. The entire complex is fully accessible with ramps and elevators available throughout the facility.
The 900-space car park at FIBES II was built with a tunnel that brings natural light to every parking space, an unusual feature for an underground facility of this size. The extension that added it, designed by Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra, opened in September 2012.
