PANAMA CITY, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture of Panama (CCIAP) officially announced its portfolio of five international trade shows for 2026, scheduled to take place from March 10–12 at the Panama Convention Center. These specialized events will focus on key sectors for regional competitiveness: commerce, logistics, tourism, technology, and energy.

The upcoming exhibitions — EXPOCOMER, EXPO LOGÍSTICA PANAMÁ, EXPO TURISMO INTERNACIONAL, EXPO TECH, and EXPO ELÉCTRICA INTERNACIONAL – PANAMÁ — are designed to strengthen business connections, promote international partnerships, and create new market opportunities, leveraging Panama’s strategic geographic position and world-class infrastructure.

Juan Arias, President of CCIAP, emphasized Panama’s growing role as a hub for the MICE industry (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions). “Panama has it all: strategic location, air connectivity, modern infrastructure, legal security, and skilled human capital. Most importantly, we have a private sector fully committed to turning vision into action,” he stated.

Aurelio Barría Pino, President of the 2026 Exhibitions and Events Organizing Committee, highlighted the economic impact of the 2025 editions. “Last year, we welcomed over 31,000 visitors, generated 20,000 business appointments, and facilitated more than US$156 million in commercial transactions. This resulted in an economic impact of US$45 million for the country. These figures clearly show how our expos are not only business catalysts but also strengthen Panama’s position as a strategic regional platform,” Barría Pino noted.

In addition, CCIAP confirmed that Panama will host the prestigious World of Coffee event from October 23–25, 2026 — marking the first time it will be held in a coffee-producing country in Latin America. This milestone reinforces the country’s growing reputation as an ideal destination for high-impact global events.
