EXPO
The Event

Not a crowd. A room full of decision-makers.

Most building expos sell you footfall. IAB Build Expo gives you something rarer — the architects and engineers who write the specifications that decide what goes into a building before it exists.

The premier event for Bangladesh's building and construction industry, IAB Build Expo 2026 returns for its fourth edition — this time in collaboration with the Bangladesh Arch Summit 2026, creating a comprehensive four-day platform for professionals.

It is a focused exhibition of building and interior materials, innovative products, cutting-edge technologies and leading brands across the building, interior and furniture industries — walked, for three days, by the country's architectural decision-makers between summit sessions.

One architect who standardises your product across a firm's project pipeline is worth more than a thousand walk-in visitors.

That is the difference between being seen and being specified.

Who can participate

  • Building material manufacturers, importers, distributors & sellers
  • Interior & decorative material manufacturers, importers, distributors & sellers
  • Construction management & equipment companies
  • Architectural materials & stationery producers, importers, sellers & dealers

Expected footfall of 15,000 focus-group visitors over three days.
