WOFEX VISAYAS

SMX CONVENTION CENTER, SEASIDE CEBU CITY

It’s the 21st staging of WOFEX in Cebu City! Our annual visit to the Visayas is set for April 15-17 and we will be in a new venue – this time around, we will be at the SMX Convention Center, Seaside Cebu City. With the province being a favored tourism and MICE destination, its F&B scene continues to thrive and expand, making it an important stop of the WOFEX Nationwide Campaign. See you at WOFEX Visayas!

WOFEX Celebrates 20 Years in Cebu!

Central Visayas was the fastest-growing economy among the regions of the country in 2023, growing by 7.3% and contributing 6.6% to the country’s Gross Domestic Product. Cebu’s strategic location, sound infrastructure, robust tourism, manufacturing, business process outsourcing and real estate sectors are key drivers to the economic growth not only of the province but also of the region.

WOFEX 2026

On our 26th year, we continue to be of service to the local F&B industry.

With the successful return of our face-to-face shows in 2022 – 2025, we undertake to bring you even better events this year thru our 2026 WOFEX Nationwide Campaign. Join us as we go to the different regions of the country to help bring better business back, to offer learning opportunities thru WOFEX University and the various live demos and talks and to provide trade prospects for sellers and buyers.

Join us, so that together we can help sustain and support the food and hospitality industry and get business back on track.
