The SL MICE Expo 2026 will take place across five days in October, drawing business professionals and industry leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. The gathering aims to showcase Sri Lanka's capabilities as a destination for high-value business events and corporate functions.
With 120 international guests representing 27 countries, the expo is positioned as a significant platform for networking and business development within the MICE industry. The event will provide local hospitality, venue management and tourism sectors with opportunities to engage directly with international event organisers and corporate decision-makers.
Sri Lanka has increasingly sought to develop its MICE sector as part of broader efforts to diversify tourism revenue and attract high-spending visitors. The expo underscores the country's ambitions to compete with regional rivals in capturing international conferences, corporate incentive travel and large-scale exhibitions.
The timing of the October event allows organisers to capitalise on favourable weather conditions and coordinate with the country's peak tourism season. Further details regarding venue locations, programme highlights and registration procedures are expected to be announced in the coming months.
