More than 450 companies are participating in this year’s 7th PHILBEX Davao 2023 Philippine Building and Construction Exposition and 4th Travel and Leisure Expo (TLEX) slated May 11 to 14, 2023 at SM Lanang Premier’s SMX Convention Center.
PHILBEX Davao is the largest and the most comprehensive building and construction trade show organized in Mindanao.
The event has also set the standards through which local exhibitors count for knowledge and exposure.
The event will gather leading players in the industry, including construction companies.
“This year mas pinalaki siya compared to 2019 wherein there were only 300 exhibitors but this year we have more than 400 companies for PHILBEX and over 50 for TLEX that will be displaying and showcasing their newest products and trends materials in the building and design industry and travel industry,” said Leo Z. Salonga, marketing communications manager of Worldbex Services International during P.E.P Talks media forum at SM Lanang Premier on Tuesday.
Salonga said this year they are bringing the inspiration of building and design for Philbex 2023 with highlights of the shows including the Philippine Interior Designers Gallery dubbed the “World of Interior Design,” “City of Tomorrow,” which features scale models of the architectural firms; featuring the 12 local and national architectural firms; and a mini-convention and talks from the sponsors, Department of Tourism (DOT) and association partners.
The “Fiesta Night” on the 11th will gather all the exhibitors for a B2B (business matching) opportunity and talk to the leaders of the industry.
Salonga said the event is expected to attract 19,000 visitors, not just in the professional fields but also in the education sector or the students through a competition.
“Nakakatuwa na people are coming back again during this season. Kasi yung last events natin medyo takot pa ang audience but this time everyone is excited to do a face-to-face event,” he said.
