The Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) is getting even bigger in 2026. Organizers have confirmed that the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) will return as an additional exhibition venue, expanding the event’s footprint for this year’s show.
Set to run from April 9 to 12, 2026, MIAS will once again take over the World Trade Center Metro Manila, with PTTC serving as a connected secondary venue for the first time in eight years.
PTTC Returns to MIAS After Eight Years
Long-time MIAS visitors may remember PTTC as part of the show’s earlier expansions. The venue last hosted exhibits during MIAS 2018, before being repurposed as a design hub in the years that followed. Its return brings back a familiar space while giving the event room to grow even further.
With PTTC back in the mix, MIAS 2026 gains over 3,000 square meters of additional exhibition space, enough to accommodate nearly 100 more vehicle display slots. The venue will also host a dedicated food court and several special exhibits designed to give visitors more to explore beyond the main show floor.
A Seamless Connection Between Venues
Moving between the two venues should also be easier this year. Organizers are building a fully air-conditioned linkway connecting the World Trade Center’s East Wing Annex tent directly to the PTTC building.
For those arriving through PTTC, the venue also serves as an additional entry point along Roxas Boulevard and Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue. A free shuttle service will be available to transport visitors either back to the World Trade Center entrance or to nearby parking areas.
Altogether, MIAS 2026 will span around 22,500 square meters of combined indoor and outdoor exhibition space, giving organizers room to welcome more car brands, aftermarket exhibitors, and technology showcases
MIAS Continues to Grow
Now in its 21st edition, the Manila International Auto Show continues to serve as one of the biggest stages for automotive launches and innovations in the Philippines. As the industry shifts toward electrified mobility and new technologies, MIAS remains a key platform for manufacturers and enthusiasts to connect.
More announcements about exhibitors, feature attractions, and ticketing details are expected in the coming months.
