Manila, Philippines — What if the next opportunity for your business—or your next big
idea—starts with simply showing up?
The 18th PHILSME Business Expo & Conference, happening 22-23 May, 2026, at the SMX
Convention Center Manila, 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM PHT, opens a space where ideas, connections, and real opportunities
come together.
“While others are pulling back, this is exactly when you should lean in,” said CEO Trixie
Esguerra-Abrenilla.
An experience built for discovery

More than the event: PHILSME Business Magazine
PHILSME also launches its Business Magazine, designed to capture the stories behind Filipino
enterprises and extend their presence beyond the event, bringing business narratives into
everyday spaces.
Show up—and stand out
“If you think staying home saves your business, think again. In volatile times, invisibility is more
expensive than participation.”
