Best Trade Shows in the Philippines

22 tracked shows, ranked by exhibitor count

The Philippines' exhibition industry is centred on Metro Manila, where most major shows run at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay and the World Trade Center Metro Manila. The economy's export strength lies in electronics and semiconductors, which account for well over half of merchandise exports, alongside business services and agri-food. The government export agency CITEM runs the country's signature export fairs: Manila FAME, a long-running home, fashion and lifestyle show launched in 1983, and IFEX Philippines, its leading export-oriented food trade fair. Sector events such as electronics-manufacturing expos round out the calendar.

The Event Scout catalog currently lists 22 trade shows in the Philippines with editions in 2026 & 2027. Together they host an estimated 14,184 exhibitors, led by PackPrintPlas Philippines (an estimated 10,600 exhibitors). Sizeable exhibitor lists are already indexed for 10 of them — 18th Philippine Food Expo 2026 (256 companies), WATER PHILIPPINES (225), ILDEX Philippines (150). Events run across 10 cities including Manila, Pasay City and Taguig City. The tracked calendar opens with ICSIFT: International Conference on Sustainability, Innovation, and Future Technologies (21–22 Aug 2026).
