In this guide
Add up the exhibitor figures on this list and you get 3,350 stands. That number is the first thing to hold in your head when you plan an Aleppo exhibition calendar. It tells you the floor traffic is real, and it tells you that moving crates, panels and samples through this city needs a plan made weeks before you fly.
This guide compares ten Aleppo events across technology, agriculture, tourism, construction, food, healthcare, textiles, energy and general trade. Three carry 2026–2027 dates listed as upcoming. Four are past editions from 2026. Three have dates we cannot place as either, so treat them as unconfirmed until an organiser tells you otherwise.
The focus is logistics: what each show is for, which sectors dominate, how to think about venues when the records don’t name one, and the mistakes that cost exhibitors time and money. You are getting an experienced read of the data, not a promise about any future edition.
Which Sectors Dominate Aleppo's Exhibition Floors
Construction is the clearest heavyweight in these records. Two events — Syria Build at 500 exhibitors and the construction expo at 300 — account for 800 stands between them, more than any other pairing on the list. Add steel and cement names among the general trade exhibitors and the pattern sharpens: Aleppo’s exhibition economy leans toward building, materials and heavy trade.
Technology is the next strongest single-industry signal at 400 stands, and it sits alone in its category. After that the field thins out quickly:
- Agriculture and general trade each bring substantial floors, at 300 and 800 respectively.
- Food, healthcare and tourism cluster around 200–250 exhibitors.
- Textiles sits at 200; energy at 150.
What does this mean for a stand decision? If your product supports construction or rebuilding work, you have more rooms to choose from and more chance of finding a date that fits. If you sell into energy or textiles, the floors are smaller and the case for each individual show has to be made on audience quality rather than volume. Neither is better. They are different sales motions.
The Aleppo Exhibition Calendar, Compared
1. Aleppo International Technology Fair
400 stands of Syrian tech, software and cybersecurity
- Supplied dates: November 15-17, 2026
- Industry: Technology
- Exhibitors: 400+
- Official website
Technology is the largest single-industry crowd on this list at 400 exhibitors, and the November 15–17, 2026 slot sits late enough in the year to pitch 2027 budgets. Expect visitors drawn from software, digital media and security work. If your booth needs live demos, plan power and connectivity conversations early — unspecified venues mean you cannot assume anything about the hall’s infrastructure until an organiser confirms it.
Best for: Software vendors and IT service firms
2. Aleppo International Agriculture Expo
300 agri stands spanning equipment, seed and organic produce
- Supplied dates: December 10-12, 2026
- Industry: Agriculture
- Exhibitors: 300+
- Official website
Agriculture brings 300 exhibitors to a December 10–12, 2026 show, and the notable names lean toward machinery, crop solutions and organic producers. Winter timing matters for a sector tied to planting cycles, so build your sample plan around what can travel and be stored. Heavy equipment is a freight question first: get dimensions and weight limits in writing from whoever runs the hall.
Best for: Equipment dealers and input suppliers
3. Aleppo International Tourism Fair
200 travel and hospitality exhibitors in mid-January
- Supplied dates: January 20-22, 2027
- Industry: Travel & Tourism
- Exhibitors: 200+
- Official website
The tourism fair runs January 20–22, 2027 with 200 exhibitors covering agencies, tour operators, cultural heritage and eco-tourism. January is a quiet travel month in many markets, which can mean visitors arrive with genuine planning intent rather than passing curiosity. Display material travels light here — printed collateral and screens rather than freight crates — so this is the easiest Aleppo show on this list to staff with a small team.
Best for: Tour operators and hospitality groups
4. Aleppo International Fair
800 exhibitors, the largest count on this list
- Dates unconfirmed: September 2026
- Industry: General Trade
- Exhibitors: 800+
- Official website
The general trade fair lists September 2026 and 800 exhibitors — the highest figure in these records — with names spanning steel, soap, olive oil and trading groups. The date status is unknown, so do not build travel around September until an organiser confirms it. If it does run, it rewards a scouting approach: walk the floor first, shortlist second, and book meetings for day two rather than trying to cover 800 stands cold.
Best for: Buyers wanting breadth in one hall
5. Syria Build
500 construction and real estate exhibitors, April 2027
- Dates unconfirmed: April 2027
- Industry: Construction & Real Estate
- Exhibitors: 500+
- Official website
Syria Build lists April 2027 with 500 exhibitors and an unknown date status. The exhibitor mix — construction, cement and group conglomerates — suggests a show where relationship-building outranks catalogue browsing. Booth freight here is likely to be heavy: sample blocks, panels and hardware. Budget for crating and local handling as separate line items, and confirm the hall’s loading arrangements before you commit to a build.
Best for: Contractors, cement and materials suppliers
6. Aleppo International Construction Expo
300 building exhibitors at a past July 2026 edition
- Supplied past edition: July 10-12, 2026
- Industry: Building & Construction
- Exhibitors: 300+
- Official website
This construction expo ran July 10–12, 2026 with 300 exhibitors, and it is a past edition — nothing here suggests a repeat. Read it as evidence of demand in building materials, engineering and design rather than a booking opportunity. If you are weighing a 2027 construction presence in Aleppo, the two construction events on this list together account for 800 stands, which is a strong signal about where the floor space goes.
Best for: Materials and engineering firms studying the sector
7. Aleppo International Food Expo
250 food and beverage stands, March 2026 edition
- Supplied past edition: March 20-22, 2026
- Industry: Food & Beverage
- Exhibitors: 250+
- Official website
The food expo’s March 20–22, 2026 edition is past, with 250 exhibitors across beverages, snacks, organic farms and spices. Food logistics are the hard part of this sector anywhere: samples, cold storage and customs paperwork for consumables. Use this past edition as a reason to ask detailed questions about handling and storage at any future food event before you ship a single pallet.
Best for: Food producers and ingredient traders
8. Aleppo International Healthcare Expo
250 healthcare exhibitors at an October 2026 edition
- Supplied past edition: October 5-7, 2026
- Industry: Healthcare
- Exhibitors: 250+
- Official website
Healthcare drew 250 exhibitors to an October 5–7, 2026 edition that is already past. The mix — medical supplies, pharma, wellness and biotech — points to a visitor base that buys on specification, not impulse. Devices and instruments need protective cases and often power for demonstrations. Treat the past edition as a benchmark for what a healthcare floor in Aleppo looks like, not as a schedule for 2027.
Best for: Medical suppliers and pharma distributors
9. Aleppo International Textile Fair
200 textile and apparel stands, May 2026 edition
- Supplied past edition: May 15-17, 2026
- Industry: Textiles & Apparel
- Exhibitors: 200+
- Official website
Textiles brought 200 exhibitors to a May 15–17, 2026 edition now past, covering fabric, apparel and design. Sample-heavy sectors like this one reward exhibitors who ship swatch books and small mannequins rather than full ranges. If a future edition appears, ask about hanging rails and display walls early — those are the details that quietly decide whether a textile stand looks professional or improvised.
Best for: Fabric houses and apparel makers
10. Aleppo International Renewable Energy Fair
150 energy exhibitors, the smallest count listed
- Supplied past edition: August 25-27, 2026
- Industry: Energy
- Exhibitors: 150+
- Official website
The renewable energy fair lists 150 exhibitors for August 25–27, 2026, and that edition is past. It is the smallest event here by exhibitor count, which is not a criticism — smaller floors often mean longer conversations per stand. Solar and wind hardware is bulky and fragile in transit, so any future energy event demands a freight plan before a stand design. Use this listing as a sector marker, not a date to book.
Best for: Solar, wind and efficiency specialists
Event details reflect supplied records and have not been independently verified for this guide. Always confirm on the official event website before booking travel or stand space.
Aleppo Venues Compared: What the Records Show
Every one of the ten events in these records has an empty venue field. That is the single most important operational fact in this article. Do not assume two Aleppo shows share a hall, do not assume a hall has loading docks, and do not assume you know the distance between your hotel and your stand.
| Event type | Exhibitors | Venue in records | Practical implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| General trade | 800 | Not stated | Largest floor; expect the longest walks |
| Construction (Syria Build) | 500 | Not stated | Heavy freight; confirm loading access |
| Technology | 400 | Not stated | Power and connectivity questions first |
| Agriculture / construction expo | 300 each | Not stated | Equipment dimensions decide everything |
| Food / healthcare | 250 each | Not stated | Storage and handling are the risks |
| Tourism / textiles | 200 each | Not stated | Light freight; small teams work |
| Energy | 150 | Not stated | Bulky, fragile hardware in transit |
With venues unnamed, the comparison has to run on scale and sector instead. A 150-stand energy fair and an 800-stand general trade fair are different logistical animals: one fits a two-person team and a taxi, the other needs a build crew and a freight forwarder. Ask each organiser for the hall name, floor plan, ceiling height and vehicle access before you sign anything.
Advice for International Exhibitors Coming to Aleppo
Plan as though nothing is confirmed until you have it in writing. Of the ten events here, three carry dates listed as upcoming, four are past editions, and three have unknown date status. That mix is normal for a market guide built from records, but it means your first job is verification, not booking.
- Confirm the edition. Ask the organiser whether the event is running on the listed dates and whether your sector is represented. Do this before any travel commitment.
- Get the venue in writing. Hall name, address, floor plan and access times. The records name no venue for any of these shows.
- Separate freight from luggage. Booth panels, sample blocks and demo units should travel as freight with their own paperwork, not as excess baggage.
- Build a paperwork file. Commercial invoices, packing lists and material descriptions for every crate. Customs officials care about accuracy, not enthusiasm.
- Staff to the floor size. A 150-stand show and an 800-stand show need different teams.
One hypothetical worth running: if you were weighing a November 2026 technology appearance against an April 2027 construction one, you would not compare exhibitor counts alone. You would compare which visitor list matches your pipeline, then work backwards to freight, staff and stand build. That order saves money.
Common Mistakes to Avoid at Aleppo Trade Shows
The mistakes I see repeated are rarely dramatic. They are small assumptions that compound.
- Treating an unknown date as a booking. September 2026 and April 2027 appear against two large events, but their status is unknown. Do not build a trip on them.
- Assuming a past edition repeats. Four events here are past editions from 2026. Nothing in the records says they return.
- Shipping before you know the hall. With no venue listed for any event, freight sent on assumption is freight at risk.
- Overbuilding a small floor. A 150-exhibitor energy fair does not need the stand you would build for an 800-stand trade show.
- Ignoring sector fit. Construction has 800 stands across two events; energy has 150 in one. Volume is not the same as relevance.
- Leaving storage to chance. Food, healthcare and textile samples all need somewhere to live overnight. Ask.
None of this is exotic advice. It is just the discipline of confirming facts before spending money — and in a city where the exhibition records leave venue and date gaps, that discipline is the whole job.
Aleppo Exhibitions: Questions Exhibitors Ask
How many exhibitors do Aleppo's trade shows attract in total?
The ten events in these records list 3,350 exhibitors combined. Individual figures run from 150 at the renewable energy fair to 800 at the general trade fair. Those are supplied counts for the editions described, not forecasts for future shows. Treat them as a sense of scale when you compare floors, and confirm current participation directly with each organiser.
Which Aleppo event has confirmed upcoming dates?
Three carry dates listed as upcoming: the technology fair on November 15–17, 2026, the agriculture expo on December 10–12, 2026, and the tourism fair on January 20–22, 2027. These are supplied dates that have not been independently confirmed by this guide. Verify each one with its organiser before booking flights, freight or stand build.
Why do the event listings have no venue?
The supplied records leave the venue field empty for all ten events, so this guide does not name any hall. That is not an omission you can ignore — it means you must ask each organiser for the hall name, floor plan, ceiling height and vehicle access. Do that before you design a stand or book freight, because those answers change both.
Should I plan around the September 2026 or April 2027 events?
Not yet. The general trade fair (September 2026, 800 exhibitors) and Syria Build (April 2027, 500 exhibitors) both have unknown date status in these records. They may be significant floors, but an unconfirmed date is not a planning anchor. Contact the organisers first and only commit travel once you have written confirmation.
Start with one email, not one booking. Pick the two Aleppo events that match your sector, ask each organiser to confirm the dates, the hall and the freight access rules, and only then price your stand, staff and shipping. The 3,350-stand picture is a map, not a schedule — your next move is turning it into confirmed facts.
