The second annual edition of Exphotel Vallarta is set to take place from March 18 to 20, 2026, at the Puerto Vallarta International Convention Center (CICPV). Recognized as Mexico’s leading business forum for the hospitality industry, the event brings together over 200 exhibitors and an expected 2,500 professional buyers. This international platform is designed specifically for decision-makers in the HORECA sector (Hotels, Restaurants, Cafés, and Catering) looking to discover the latest trends in technology, equipment, and sustainable solutions.
Exphotel 2026 will feature a 35% increase in participating companies compared to its debut year, including a new American Pavilion with over 15 U.S.-based firms entering the Mexican Pacific market. The three-day program goes beyond a standard trade show, offering specialized certifications, workshops on operational efficiency, and a dedicated Wine Camp featuring educational tastings led by master sommeliers. The event serves as a vital networking hub, with organizers projecting the closing of business deals worth millions of dollars that will shape the region’s hospitality standards for the coming year.
Admission to the exhibition floor is free for industry professionals who register in advance through the official website. The event schedule runs daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, providing ample time for owners, chefs, and managers to connect with global suppliers. By positioning Puerto Vallarta alongside major hubs like Cancún, Exphotel reinforces the city’s status as a top-tier destination for specialized business tourism and world-class service standards.
