HCMC – HawaExpo, Vietnam’s largest export furniture fair, is set to take place from March 6-9 in two locations in HCMC, featuring 2,500 booths.
Organized by the Handicraft and Wood Industry Association of HCMC (HAWA), this year’s fair will be three times larger than its 2023 edition due to growing demand from exhibitors.
More than 500 companies will participate, with over 80% hailing from Vietnam and 20% from other ASEAN countries, according to the organizing committee.
HawaExpo 2024 will have two venues: the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in District 7 and the White Palace Pham Van Dong in Thu Duc City.
Nguyen Quoc Khanh, chairman of HAWA and head of the organizing committee, said the event will showcase the industry’s latest strengths and provide insights into Vietnam’s expanding manufacturing capabilities.
Exhibitors at HawaExpo 2024 will have opportunities to engage with a diverse range of customers, facilitated through direct trading, online connections via the Hopefairs platform, and cross-border e-commerce sales channels with support from Amazon and Wayfair.
HAWA will also ink a cooperation agreement with Amazon Global Selling to offer training sessions for Vietnamese companies interested in selling on Amazon. The training will commence with a workshop and one-on-one counseling sessions in SECC.
