The Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture of Panama (CCIAP) has officially revealed its lineup of five international trade shows scheduled for March 10-12, 2026, at the Panama Convention Center. These prominent events are set to target vital sectors, enhancing regional competitiveness in commerce, logistics, tourism, technology, and energy.

Focused Trade Shows for Strategic Growth

The portfolio features the following exhibitions:

• - EXPOCOMER
• - EXPO LOGÍSTICA PANAMÁ

These trade shows aim to build strong business connections, foster international partnerships, and unveil new market opportunities, capitalizing on Panama's advantageous geographical location and top-notch infrastructure.

Panama is increasingly becoming a central hub for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) industry. Juan Arias, President of CCIAP, stated, "Panama has it all: strategic location, extensive air connectivity, modern infrastructure, legal security, and skilled human resources. Most importantly, we have a private sector fully committed to turning vision into action."

Economic Impact and Opportunities

Aurelio Barría Pino, who leads the 2026 Exhibitions and Events Organizing Committee, underscored the remarkable economic benefits witnessed during the 2025 events. He reported that the previous year's expos welcomed over 31,000 visitors, facilitated 20,000 business appointments, and surpassed $156 million in commercial transactions, generating a significant $45 million economic impact for the country. These statistics highlight how the trade shows are not just business catalysts, but also enhance Panama's reputation as a strategic regional platform.

Additionally, CCIAP is excited to announce that Panama will also host the prestigious World of Coffee event from October 23-25, 2026. This gathering will mark a historic first, as it will be held in a coffee-producing country in Latin America, reinforcing Panama's position as a premier destination for high-impact international events.
