The Philippine livestock, dairy, meat processing, and aquaculture industries are gearing up for an unprecedented event as ILDEX Philippines, the region’s premier international exhibition, announces its monumental expansion.
Slated to take place from August 27 to 29, 2025, at the SMX Convention Center Manila, this upcoming edition will now occupy Halls 1 through 4, marking it as the largest iteration in the show’s history. This significant growth solidifies ILDEX Philippines’ indispensable role as Southeast Asia’s leading platform for these vital sectors.
The decision to expand follows a strategic announcement in November 2024 to annualize the Philippine Poultry Show and ILDEX Philippines, a move that has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm. Since then, the escalating interest from both local and international stakeholders has necessitated the acquisition of additional space. The integration of Hall 4 into the exhibition footprint ensures that the burgeoning number of exhibitors can be comfortably accommodated, promising an even more dynamic and comprehensive experience for all participants.
Ms. Mildred Esquillo, PPS Event Manager for DeltaMan, expressed immense excitement about the expansion.
“In response to the growing interest and increasing number of exhibitors and visitors, we are excited to announce the expansion of the exhibition space for the Poultry Show and ILDEX,” she stated. “This move will allow us to accommodate more participants, showcase a wider range of innovations, and enhance the overall event experience. The additional space will also improve traffic flow, provide more networking areas, and ensure a more comfortable environment for both exhibitors and attendees. We are working hard to provide exhibitors and visitors with a brand-new experience at the Poultry Show and ILDEX Philippines. We look forward to welcoming everyone to a bigger and better event this year.”

Mr. Kevin Zhao, Senior Project Manager for ILDEX Philippines, shared his confidence regarding the expansion. “We have received really positive response from the industry and our clients over the past months since we decided to annualize the show,” he remarked. “This has given us a lot more confidence to expand into hall 4, allowing us to welcome more leading exhibitors and participants together in ‘Philippine Poultry Show & ILDEX Philippines 2025’. This extension is not only reflecting the show’s growth but also showing our commitment to the development of the livestock industry in the Philippines market.”
