In this guide
Ipoh’s trade show scene packs 2,400 exhibitors across ten events. That’s the combined total from the records, ranging from a 550-exhibitor industrial giant to a 100-exhibitor education fair. The calendar splits neatly: four events have already run (March, August and September 2026), and six are scheduled ahead (October 2026 through June 2027).
This guide ranks all ten by exhibitor count and explains how they differ. You’ll see which are broad manufacturing plays, which are niche verticals, and which suit smaller, focused visits. No hotel tips or transit routes here—just the events, their scale, and who should show up.
Use the comparision to decide where your time is best spent.
Who Should Go to Which Ipoh Show
With ten events across nine industries, the first decision is sector fit, not size. Use the exhibitor count as a secondary filter.
- Industrial equipment and manufacturing: Perak Industrial Fair (300 exhibitors, Nov 2026) is the largest upcoming option. The past Ipoh Industrial Expo 2026 (550) shows the ceiling for this sector.
- Technology: Ipoh Tech Expo (250, Feb 2027) is the dedicated tech play.
- Construction: Ipoh Construction Expo (220, Jun 2027) is the only construction-specific event.
- Renewable energy: Perak Green Energy Expo (180, Apr 2027).
- Healthcare: Ipoh Health & Wellness Expo (150, Oct 2026).
- Education: Perak Education Fair (100, Jan 2027).
Past editions—Automotive (300), International (200), and Food & Beverage (150)—round out the sectors but aren’t upcoming. If your industry appears only in the past list, confirm future plans before planning travel.
The Ipoh Event Lineup: All 10 Shows by Scale
1. Perak Industrial Fair
300 exhibitors, industrial equipment focus
- Supplied dates: November 5-7, 2026
- Industry: Industrial Equipment
- Exhibitors: 300+
- Official website
With 300 exhibitors, the Perak Industrial Fair is the second-largest scheduled event in Ipoh. It’s set for November 5-7, 2026, and covers industrial equipment—think machinery, tools, and production hardware. If your work involves sourcing or specifying equipment for manufacturing or processing, this is the most direct fit among the upcoming shows. The exhibitor list includes Brand K through Brand O, which gives you a sense of the mix without promising specific meetings. Plan to walk the floor with a shortlist of equipment categories rather than a broad browsing strategy.
Best for: Industrial buyers and machinery suppliers
2. Ipoh Tech Expo
250 exhibitors, technology across sectors
- Supplied dates: February 20-22, 2027
- Industry: Technology
- Exhibitors: 250+
- Official website
The Ipoh Tech Expo runs February 20-22, 2027, with 250 exhibitors. That puts it third by size among the six upcoming events. Technology is the label, but exhibitors like Brand P through Brand T suggest a range that could span software, hardware, and services. This is the show to consider if your priority is comparing tech vendors in one place. Because it’s a general tech expo rather than a single-vertical event, come with a clear list of problems you want solved—otherwise the floor can feel scattered.
Best for: Tech adopters and digital transformation teams
3. Ipoh Construction Expo
220 exhibitors, construction sector
- Supplied dates: June 10-12, 2027
- Industry: Construction
- Exhibitors: 220+
- Official website
Ipoh Construction Expo (June 10-12, 2027) brings 220 exhibitors to the city. It’s the fourth-largest upcoming event and the only construction-focused show on the list. Exhibitors Brand Z through Brand AD are the reference points; the records don’t detail sub-sectors, so treat the floor as a broad construction marketplace. For contractors, developers, or anyone specifying building materials, this is the most targeted Ipoh event for your sector. It’s smaller than the industrial fair, which may mean less walking and more focused conversations—a trade-off worth weighing.
Best for: Contractors, developers and building suppliers
4. Perak Green Energy Expo
180 exhibitors, renewable energy
- Supplied dates: April 15-17, 2027
- Industry: Renewable Energy
- Exhibitors: 180+
- Official website
The Perak Green Energy Expo is scheduled for April 15-17, 2027, with 180 exhibitors. That’s fifth by scale among the upcoming six. Renewable energy is a narrower vertical than tech or industrial equipment, so the exhibitor count reflects a more specialised floor. Brands U through Y are listed as notable exhibitors. If your role involves energy sourcing, efficiency projects, or sustainability planning, this show gives you a concentrated set of vendors to compare. The smaller size means you can cover the floor in a day and still have time for follow-up questions.
Best for: Energy planners and sustainability leads
5. Ipoh Health & Wellness Expo
150 exhibitors, health and wellness
- Supplied dates: October 20-22, 2026
- Industry: Healthcare
- Exhibitors: 150+
- Official website
Ipoh Health & Wellness Expo runs October 20-22, 2026, with 150 exhibitors. It’s the first upcoming event on the calendar and the sixth-largest among the six scheduled. Exhibitors Brand AJ through Brand AN are the named references. The health and wellness label covers a wide range—from clinical products to lifestyle services—so the floor may feel varied. For healthcare administrators, clinic buyers, or wellness retailers, this is a practical way to see what’s available in one visit. It’s also the earliest date on the upcoming list, which makes it a natural starting point if you’re planning a season of shows.
Best for: Healthcare providers and wellness buyers
6. Perak Education Fair
100 exhibitors, education focus
- Supplied dates: January 15-17, 2027
- Industry: Education
- Exhibitors: 100+
- Official website
The Perak Education Fair is the smallest upcoming event, with 100 exhibitors, and runs January 15-17, 2027. That scale suits a focused visit: you can see every exhibitor in a few hours. Brands AO through AS are listed. Education fairs typically serve students, parents, and institutions comparing programmes or services. If you’re planning academic options or looking for education-sector suppliers, this is the most direct Ipoh event for that purpose. The smaller floor is a feature, not a flaw—less ground to cover, more time per conversation.
Best for: Students, parents and education providers
7. Ipoh Industrial Expo 2026
550 exhibitors, the largest on record
- Supplied past edition: March 15-17, 2026
- Industry: Manufacturing and Industrial Technology
- Exhibitors: 550+
- Official website
Ipoh Industrial Expo 2026 was held March 15-17, 2026, and its 550 exhibitors make it the largest event in this set by a wide margin. The industry is manufacturing and industrial technology, and the notable exhibitors listed are TechCorp, Innovatech, Green Solutions, BuildRight, and AutoParts Co. That mix hints at a cross-sector industrial floor. Because this edition is in the past, use it as a scale reference: if you need the widest possible supplier comparison in one place, this is the benchmark. Check whether a future edition is planned before making travel plans.
Best for: Broad industrial and manufacturing buyers
8. Perak Automotive Expo
300 exhibitors, automotive aftermarket
- Supplied past edition: September 5-7, 2026
- Industry: Automotive
- Exhibitors: 300+
- Official website
Perak Automotive Expo took place September 5-7, 2026, with 300 exhibitors. That ties it with the Perak Industrial Fair for second-largest overall, though this edition has passed. Brands AE through AI are the named exhibitors. The automotive label suggests a focus on parts, accessories, and services rather than new-vehicle launches. For workshop owners, parts distributors, or fleet managers, this would be the most relevant Ipoh event when it runs. Since the 2026 edition is past, confirm any future dates before committing.
Best for: Auto parts buyers and service operators
9. Perak International Expo
200 exhibitors, broad manufacturing
- Supplied past edition: March 15-17, 2026
- Industry: Manufacturing
- Exhibitors: 200+
- Official website
Perak International Expo was held March 15-17, 2026, alongside the larger industrial expo, with 200 exhibitors. The industry label is simply manufacturing, and brands A through E are listed. That overlap in dates and sector makes it worth comparing: the International Expo is smaller and likely broader in scope than the 550-exhibitor industrial show. If you’re reviewing past editions to judge fit, this one sits in the middle of the pack. As a past event, treat it as a reference point rather than a booking target.
Best for: Manufacturing suppliers and procurement
10. Ipoh Food & Beverage Expo
150 exhibitors, food and hospitality
- Supplied past edition: August 10-12, 2026
- Industry: Food & Hospitality
- Exhibitors: 150+
- Official website
Ipoh Food & Beverage Expo ran August 10-12, 2026, with 150 exhibitors. Brands F through J are the listed names. Food and hospitality is a distinct vertical from the industrial and tech shows, which makes this event useful if your business sits in that space—restaurants, hotels, catering, or retail food. The 150-exhibitor scale is mid-sized for this set: enough variety to compare suppliers, small enough to cover in a day. This edition is past, so check for a future date if the sector fits your needs.
Best for: F&B buyers and hospitality operators
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.
Ipoh's Links to Neighbouring Markets
Ipoh sits in Perak, within reach of Peninsular Malaysia’s northern and central economic corridors. The event names reflect that: three carry ‘Perak’ rather than ‘Ipoh’, suggesting a state-level draw. That matters for exhibitors and visitors coming from outside the city. If you’re travelling from another state, the Perak-branded shows may offer a broader cross-section of regional suppliers than the Ipoh-branded ones. The records don’t list visitor origins or international pavilions, so treat this as a naming signal, not a promise. For planning, assume a regional audience and prepare for follow-ups across state lines. The two March 2026 events—Ipoh Industrial Expo and Perak International Expo—shared dates, which hints at a cluster effect worth watching for in future calendars.
Your Ipoh Trade Show Travel Kit
Practical prep for a multi-event visit, based on what the records show:
- Calendar check: Six upcoming events span October 2026 to June 2027. No two upcoming events share dates, so you can plan separate trips.
- Scale planning: For 300+ exhibitor shows (Industrial Fair, Tech Expo), allocate a full day. For 100-180 exhibitor shows, half a day is workable.
- Industry overlap: The industrial and manufacturing cluster is the densest. If you cover multiple sectors, sequence those visits together.
- Verification: Venue fields are blank in the records, and dates are as supplied. Confirm details with organisers before booking travel.
No venue names are available here, so build your itinerary around dates first, then fill in locations once confirmed.
Final Recommendation: Pick by Sector, Then Scale
If you want the broadest upcoming industrial comparison, start with Perak Industrial Fair (300, Nov 2026). If technology is your focus, Ipoh Tech Expo (250, Feb 2027) is the clear choice. Construction and renewable energy have dedicated shows at 220 and 180 exhibitors respectively. Health, education, automotive, and food each have one event, making the decision straightforward. The 550-exhibitor Ipoh Industrial Expo 2026 shows what a large Ipoh show can look like, but it’s a past edition—use it as context, not a booking target. Across the set, the median exhibitor count is 210, so most shows sit in the mid-sized range. Pick your sector, check the date status, and confirm with the organiser before you commit.
