Expat Expo

Our Story

  • 2006

    Ed and Melanie McGaugh, US/Swiss expatriates, founded the first Expat Expos in Geneva, Zug, and Zürich. Inspired by fellow internationals who shared their struggles of relocating to Switzerland, they created a platform to connect expats with companies offering services in English.

  • 2010

    The Expat Expo expanded to include Basel, marking the city's debut on the Expat Expo roster.

  • 2011

    Luzern became the fifth city to host an Expat Expo, reflecting the growing demand for expat services across Switzerland.

  • 2012

    The Expat Expo network extended to Switzerland’s capital, Bern, and made its inaugural appearance in Ticino with the Lugano Expat Expo.

  • 2020

    After years of success, the Expat Expo faced an unprecedented challenge as the Covid-19 pandemic brought events to a halt.

  • 2023

    December ushered in a new era for Expat Expo. Long-term exhibitors James and Emily Austin took over from Ed and Melanie, who retired to enjoy rural life in France.

  • 2024

    Under the leadership of James and Emily, the first Expat Expos were held in Basel and Zug, revitalizing the brand. The relaunch featured a refreshed website and event format, culminating in a celebrated return to Zürich at the Kongresshaus Zürich.
