For more than two decades, THAIFEX – Anuga Asia has continued to grow alongside IMPACT Muang Thong Thani. Throughout this journey, the venue has evolved from supporting a major regional trade exhibition into facilitating one of the world's leading food and beverage trade events.
The ability to scale, adapt, and support new event concepts has enabled THAIFEX – Anuga Asia to continuously expand its footprint, attract more international exhibitors and buyers, and introduce new initiatives that respond to the changing needs of the global food and beverage industry. This long-standing partnership reflects the confidence organisers place in IMPACT Muang Thong Thani's infrastructure, operational expertise, and capacity for future growth.
More Than Footfall: Creating Business Value
THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2026 is expected to welcome more than 3,300 exhibitors from over 60 countries and regions, alongside approximately 90,000 trade visitors from more than 140 countries worldwide.
However, the true value of the exhibition extends far beyond visitor numbers. Every year, THAIFEX facilitates thousands of business meetings, sourcing discussions, distributor appointments, partnership negotiations, and investment conversations between buyers and suppliers from across the globe. For many participants, the exhibition serves as a gateway to new markets, strategic partnerships, and long-term commercial opportunities throughout Asia.
As business events become increasingly outcome-driven, venue functionality plays a critical role in supporting these interactions. Beyond exhibition halls, organisers require dedicated spaces where meaningful business conversations can take place efficiently and professionally.
The Importance of Breakout Rooms, Function Rooms and Business Centres
One of the key reasons behind the expansion of THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2026 into IMPACT Forum is the growing demand for supporting facilities beyond the exhibition floor.
Modern trade exhibitions require breakout rooms for industry seminars, product presentations, hosted buyer programmes, media briefings, investor meetings, and private discussions. Function rooms are increasingly used for networking events, executive meetings, VIP hospitality programmes, and business receptions. Meanwhile, dedicated business centres provide professional environments where exhibitors and buyers can conduct meetings, finalise agreements, and explore collaboration opportunities throughout the exhibition.
By combining large-scale exhibition halls with conference facilities, breakout rooms, function rooms, and business centres within a single destination, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani enables organisers to create a more comprehensive and productive event experience.
Integrated Hospitality Ecosystem
Another key advantage of IMPACT Muang Thong Thani is its fully integrated hospitality ecosystem.
International exhibitors, buyers, and delegates benefit from access to on-site and nearby hotels, allowing participants to stay within close proximity to the exhibition venue. This convenience reduces travel time and enables attendees to maximise business opportunities throughout the event.
Beyond accommodation, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani offers an extensive selection of restaurants, banquet venues, lakeside dining experiences, and catering services that support networking functions, hosted buyer programmes, VIP receptions, gala dinners, and exhibitor appreciation events.
As one of Thailand's leading catering operators, IMPACT Catering supports thousands of events annually, providing organisers with flexible food and beverage solutions tailored to the needs of international exhibitions and business events.
Supporting Sustainable Growth
As global organisers increasingly prioritise sustainability, venue selection now extends beyond capacity and operational capabilities.
IMPACT Muang Thong Thani is proud to be Thailand's first venue certified under the ISO 20121:2024 Sustainable Event Management System, demonstrating its commitment to responsible event management and long-term environmental sustainability.
This certification reinforces the venue's ability to support organisers seeking to reduce environmental impact while maintaining world-class event standards. For international exhibitions such as THAIFEX – Anuga Asia, sustainability has become an increasingly important consideration for exhibitors, buyers, partners, and stakeholders across the global supply chain.
Why THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2026 Expands into IMPACT Forum
One of the most significant developments for THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2026 is the expansion of the event footprint into IMPACT Forum.
The expansion reflects not only the continued growth of the exhibition but also the increasing demand for innovation-driven content, business networking opportunities, startup engagement, industry knowledge sharing, and investment-focused activities.
By incorporating additional exhibition space, breakout rooms, conference facilities, and networking environments within IMPACT Forum, organisers are able to create dedicated zones that support the future evolution of the food and beverage industry.
More importantly, the expansion demonstrates the scalability of IMPACT Muang Thong Thani as a venue. Few exhibition destinations in the region possess the ability to expand seamlessly across multiple halls, buildings, conference facilities, and business event spaces while maintaining a connected and efficient visitor experience.
For THAIFEX – Anuga Asia, the move into IMPACT Forum not only accommodates future growth but also reinforces its position as one of the world's most influential food and beverage trade exhibitions. At the same time, it further highlights the capability of IMPACT Muang Thong Thani to support the next generation of international exhibitions.
