In this guide
Two shows on this list sit at opposite ends of the scale. The Port Said Textile & Fashion Fair draws 150 exhibitors; the Port Said Automotive Expo draws 400. Both belong to the same city calendar, yet they attract different buyers, different budgets and different travel plans.
This briefing compares all ten exhibitions recorded for Port Said, separating those with supplied upcoming dates from editions already held. Six carry future dates, including the Construction & Building Expo in November 2026 and the Logistics & Supply Chain Expo in August 2027. Three are supplied as past editions: the International Trade Fair, the Food & Beverage Expo and the Maritime Expo.
Venue details are absent from the records, so treat the venue field as something to settle directly with each organiser. What follows focuses on sector fit, relative scale and the practical questions an international visitor should answer before committing to a trip.
Which sectors dominate Port Said exhibitions
The calendar is not evenly spread. Automotive leads with 400 exhibitors, construction follows at 350, and logistics at 300. Those three account for a large share of the exhibitor totals in these records, and each connects to how the city earns its living: vehicles and parts moving through a port, building work, and freight.
Below them sit technology and healthcare, both at 250, then energy at 200 and textiles at 150. The spread is wide but shallow. Few sectors have more than one recorded event, so a visitor rarely gets a second chance within the same year to meet a given audience.
- Heaviest: automotive, construction, logistics.
- Mid-weight: technology, healthcare, energy.
- Specialist: textiles and fashion.
- Past editions: general trade, food and hospitality, maritime.
The practical consequence is that sector choice decides your trip, not the city’s overall size. If your product sits between sectors, say warehouse software sold to freight firms, compare the logistics and technology events before choosing.
Port Said Events and Exhibitions Compared
1. Port Said Automotive Expo
Largest upcoming show, with 400 automotive exhibitors
- Supplied dates: December 1-3, 2027
- Industry: Automotive
- Exhibitors: 400+
- Official website
Automotive is the headline sector here by exhibitor count, and this December 2027 edition lists 400 exhibitors, the highest figure among the upcoming events. Names attached to it include Toyota Egypt, Nissan and BMW, which signals a passenger-vehicle and distribution focus rather than heavy commercial equipment. Suppliers of components, accessories and workshop services should treat it as the main commercial window in the city that year.
Best for: Vehicle brands, parts suppliers and dealership buyers
2. Port Said Construction & Building Expo
350 exhibitors in construction and building materials
- Supplied dates: November 1-3, 2026
- Industry: Construction
- Exhibitors: 350+
- Official website
Construction arrives earlier than most of the calendar: 1-3 November 2026. With 350 exhibitors, it is the second-largest upcoming event in these records. The listed participants, Orascom Construction, Arab Contractors and Hassan Allam Holding, are large Egyptian contracting groups, so expect a domestic infrastructure and building-materials audience. International suppliers of finishes, plant or consultancy should prepare for a market where local contractors set the pace.
Best for: Contractors, materials producers and project buyers
3. Port Said Logistics & Supply Chain Expo
300 exhibitors spanning freight, forwarding and supply chain
- Supplied dates: August 10-12, 2027
- Industry: Logistics
- Exhibitors: 300+
- Official website
Logistics is an obvious fit for a canal city, and this August 2027 event lists 300 exhibitors, including DHL, FedEx and Maersk Logistics. The audience is likely to be operational: forwarders, cargo owners and companies selling into port flows. If your product touches warehousing, customs software or freight services, this is the most directly relevant gathering on the list. Ask each organiser how visitor badges are issued before you book anything.
Best for: Freight forwarders, shippers and port-linked service firms
4. Port Said Technology Fair
250 exhibitors in enterprise and consumer technology
- Supplied dates: January 20-22, 2027
- Industry: Technology
- Exhibitors: 250+
- Official website
The January 2027 Technology Fair lists 250 exhibitors, with IBM, Microsoft and Huawei among the named participants. That mix points to enterprise infrastructure, cloud and hardware rather than a startup showcase. For a first visit, the value lies in meeting local integrators and resellers who can carry a product into the Egyptian market. January timing also makes it the earliest upcoming event in this set, so it suits a company planning its year.
Best for: Software vendors, integrators and IT buyers
5. Port Said Healthcare Summit
250 exhibitors across pharma, devices and care
- Supplied dates: February 15-17, 2027
- Industry: Healthcare
- Exhibitors: 250+
- Official website
Healthcare follows in February 2027 with 250 exhibitors. Pfizer, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline appear among the names, which suggests a pharmaceutical and clinical-supply emphasis. Medical device firms and hospital procurement teams should still find relevant contacts, but the centre of gravity looks like medicines and distribution. Regulatory questions differ sharply from other sectors, so raise them with the organiser early rather than assuming an exhibitor list translates into market access.
Best for: Pharmaceutical firms, device makers and clinic buyers
6. Port Said Renewable Energy Conference
200 exhibitors in renewables, grid and power equipment
- Supplied dates: April 15-17, 2027
- Industry: Energy
- Exhibitors: 200+
- Official website
April 2027 brings a 200-exhibitor energy conference. Siemens, GE Renewable Energy and Enel Green Power are the listed names, so the profile is industrial and utility-scale rather than residential solar retail. It is a smaller event by exhibitor count, which can mean more concentrated conversations. Companies selling grid components, storage or generation services should compare it against the logistics and construction shows, since infrastructure buyers may appear at more than one.
Best for: Energy equipment makers and utility suppliers
7. Port Said Textile & Fashion Fair
150 exhibitors in cotton, textiles and apparel
- Supplied dates: October 5-7, 2027
- Industry: Textiles & Fashion
- Exhibitors: 150+
- Official website
The smallest upcoming event here, with 150 exhibitors, is also the most specialised. October 2027 dates, with Cotton Egypt, Al-Mansour Group and Giza Spinning and Weaving named, indicate a fibre-to-fabric supply chain rather than fashion retail. Sourcing managers looking for Egyptian cotton and garment capacity will find a focused room. A small exhibitor count rewards prepared buyers with specific specifications; it is less useful for general browsing.
Best for: Fabric buyers, garment brands and spinning firms
8. Port Said International Trade Fair
Past edition with 500 exhibitors across general trade
- Supplied past edition: March 15-20, 2026
- Industry: General Trade
- Exhibitors: 500+
- Official website
This general trade fair was held 15-20 March 2026 and is recorded as a past edition, not a scheduled future one. At 500 exhibitors it carries the largest figure in the whole dataset, spanning sectors rather than one industry. EgyptAir, the Suez Canal Authority and Port Said Container & Cargo Handling Company appear among participants. Use the record as context for how broad the city’s trade calendar can be, and confirm any future edition directly with its organiser.
Best for: Multi-sector buyers seeking a broad view
9. Port Said Food & Beverage Expo
Past food and hospitality edition with 400 exhibitors
- Supplied past edition: September 5-7, 2026
- Industry: Food & Hospitality
- Exhibitors: 400+
- Official website
The Food & Beverage Expo ran 5-7 September 2026 and is listed as past. Its 400 exhibitors, including Al-Ahram Beverages, Juhayna and Americana Group, indicate a strong domestic branded-goods presence alongside hospitality supply. For importers and equipment suppliers, the sector remains relevant to Port Said’s role as a port city, but this entry describes a completed edition. Ask the organiser whether a later edition is planned before making plans around it.
Best for: Food producers, distributors and hotel buyers
10. Port Said Maritime Expo
Past maritime edition with 300 exhibitors
- Supplied past edition: June 10-12, 2026
- Industry: Maritime
- Exhibitors: 300+
- Official website
Maritime ran 10-12 June 2026 and is recorded as past. With 300 exhibitors and names such as CMA CGM, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, it reflected the city’s shipping identity directly. Anyone in port services, marine equipment or vessel agency work should note the sector’s weight here even though this particular edition has closed. The logistics show in August 2027 covers adjacent ground and may suit companies that missed the maritime window.
Best for: Shipping lines, port services and marine suppliers

Port Said venues compared: what the records show
Every event in this dataset has an empty venue field. That is the single most important fact for planning. No hall name, address or capacity is supplied, so any assumption about where a show takes place is guesswork.
What can be compared is scale. The past International Trade Fair reached 500 exhibitors; the upcoming automotive expo lists 400. A show of that size needs substantial floor space, while the 150-exhibitor textile fair needs far less. Those differences may affect how far apart meetings are and how much time to allow on site, but only the organiser can tell you the actual location.
| Event | Dates | Exhibitors | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automotive Expo | 1-3 Dec 2027 | 400 | Not supplied |
| Construction & Building Expo | 1-3 Nov 2026 | 350 | Not supplied |
| Logistics & Supply Chain Expo | 10-12 Aug 2027 | 300 | Not supplied |
| Technology Fair | 20-22 Jan 2027 | 250 | Not supplied |
| Healthcare Summit | 15-17 Feb 2027 | 250 | Not supplied |
| Renewable Energy Conference | 15-17 Apr 2027 | 200 | Not supplied |
| Textile & Fashion Fair | 5-7 Oct 2027 | 150 | Not supplied |
Ask for the hall and entry point in writing. It is a small request that prevents a wasted morning.
Advice for international visitors to Port Said
Treat the trip as a business visit with logistics attached. The details below are general guidance, not local facts from the event records.
Arrival and timing
Build a buffer day before your first meeting. Three-day shows leave little room for delays, and the January technology fair and February healthcare summit fall in cooler months when business travel is heavy.
Language
Arabic is the working language around many Egyptian businesses; English is common in international-facing companies. Printed material in both languages is a sensible default. Confirm the language of any session you intend to join.
Etiquette
Exchange cards with both hands, expect opening pleasantries before commercial detail, and avoid scheduling tightly back-to-back. Relationship time is part of the meeting, not a delay.
Payments
Carry a mix of local currency and an international card. Card acceptance varies by business, and smaller suppliers may prefer cash. Keep receipts for expense records.
- Request the venue and hall in writing.
- Ask which visitor pass your registration gives you.
- Check whether an interpreter is provided.
Common mistakes to avoid
Most errors here come from treating an exhibition listing as a confirmed appointment.
- Assuming recurrence. The International Trade Fair, Food & Beverage Expo and Maritime Expo are recorded as past editions. Do not treat them as annual fixtures without word from the organiser.
- Treating future dates as verified. The 2026 and 2027 dates come from supplied listings, not independent confirmation.
- Ignoring the empty venue field. Arriving without a confirmed hall is a real risk.
- Booking around exhibitor names alone. A listed company may send a distributor rather than decision-makers.
- Overloading the calendar. Only one event per sector is recorded, so a single missed day can close a sector for the year.
- Assuming scale equals relevance. The 150-exhibitor textile fair may serve a sourcing manager better than a 400-exhibitor general show.
None of this guarantees a productive visit. It simply reduces avoidable friction.
Port Said Exhibitions: Frequently Asked Questions
Which Port Said exhibition is largest by exhibitor count?
The past International Trade Fair lists 500 exhibitors, the highest figure in these records, but it is recorded as a past edition. Among events with future dates, the Automotive Expo lists 400 exhibitors, followed by the Construction & Building Expo at 350. Confirm current participation directly with each organiser.
Are the 2027 dates in this guide confirmed?
The dates shown are those supplied in the event records. They have not been independently verified, and organisers can change schedules. Treat them as planning information rather than confirmation, and ask each organiser to confirm dates, venue and visitor access before you commit to travel or accommodation.
What should international visitors know about payments and language?
General guidance: Arabic is widely used in business, with English common in international-facing firms. Carry both local currency and an international card, since acceptance varies. Business etiquette rewards patience and personal introductions. None of this replaces checking practical details with your host company or the event organiser.
Can I combine several Port Said events in one visit?
Possibly, but the calendar is spread out. The upcoming events run from January 2027 to December 2027, with the construction show in November 2026. Overlaps are not indicated in the records. Check exact dates for each event you are considering, then decide whether one trip can realistically cover more than one.
Start with the sector, not the city. Pick the one event whose exhibitor profile matches your product, then ask its organiser for the venue, visitor access rules and written date confirmation. Only after those answers arrive should you book travel for Port Said.
