For anyone tracking the industry, Propak Vietnam 2027, the Processing and Packaing Exhibition, is one to watch — it unfolds in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from 10 March 2027 to 12 March 2027. The event connects manufacturers, distributors, buyers and trade professionals, and has grown into a notable fixture on the sector's calendar. Its annual cadence means there is always a next date on the horizon to aim for. The event is expected to welcome around 9600 attendees from across the world. The event is organised by Informa Markets, bringing proven expertise in delivering world-class gatherings. Proceedings are hosted at Saigon Exhibition & Convention Centre, a fitting stage for an event of this scale.

Ho Chi Minh City earns its place on the schedule. Equal parts business hub and destination, it gives attendees a reason to arrive early and stay a little longer. Reaching Ho Chi Minh City is straightforward, with strong international connections and local transport that make getting to the venue easy. Lodging is easy to sort in Ho Chi Minh City, with everything from conference hotels to smaller stays with local flavour.

The show brings together Packaging, Packaging Technology and Packaging Industry, giving buyers and sourcing professionals a single place to compare what the market has to offer. For buyers and sellers alike, it is a chance to do in a few days what would otherwise take months of separate meetings. With 360+ exhibitors in attendance, the hardest part is deciding which stands to visit first. The sheer scale — 13,000 m² of it — is part of the appeal, giving both exhibitors and visitors room to operate.

For the cost of a few days, you get a read on the whole market that no spreadsheet can match. If you count yourself among importers, exporters and trade buyers, Propak Vietnam 2027 is one to build your schedule around.
