Baltexpo has been held in Gdańsk since 1982. For many years they were held in Hali Olivia and in temporary built additional pavilions. Since 2013, i.e. since the 17th edition, the fair has moved to AmberExpo Exhibition and legislature Centre. In November 2021, the right to organize Baltexpo from the Warsaw Fair Board purchased the Gdańsk global Fair. Since 1998 they have owned the Balt Military Expo. Thanks to this, the Gdańsk global Fair has since 2023 combined both events into 1 common: the global Maritime and Military Fair Baltexpo. They are to take place all 2 years, in unusual years.
