Exhibiting in Belgium: Brussels Expo, the Multilingual Working Culture, and the EU-Institutions Audience
The exact change
- **Seafood Expo Global** (Brussels Expo, annually each April), the global seafood industry's flagship trade fair, drawing roughly 30,000 trade visitors including EU food-safety and fisheries-policy officials.
- **Seafood Expo Global** was hosted at Brussels Expo for many years but relocated permanently to Fira de Barcelona in 2022; it is no longer part of the Belgian calendar. Historically it drew roughly 30,000 trade visitors including EU food-safety and fisheries-policy officials.

Why this is better
2 issues fixed: Seafood Expo Global permanently relocated from Brussels Expo to Barcelona (Fira de Barcelona) starting in 2022, and continues there (2026 edition is April 21-23 in Barcelona; 2027 edition also confirmed in Barcelona). The article presents it as a current, ongoing annual Brussels Expo fair, which is now factually incorrect and the basis for the article's entire worked budget example. | The worked example budget is built entirely around exhibiting at "Seafood Expo Global Brussels," but this event no longer takes place in Brussels (moved to Barcelona in 2022), so this worked example describes a fair that does not exist at this venue.
