The Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) will expand its footprint in 2026 with the return of the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) as an additional exhibition venue, organizers announced.
Scheduled from April 9 to 12, 2026, the country’s premier motoring event will continue to hold its main exhibition at the World Trade Center Metro Manila (WTCMM) while simultaneously utilizing the PTTC for the first time in eight years.
The PTTC last served as a secondary venue during MIAS 2018. After undergoing redevelopment into a design hub, its inclusion in the 2026 edition marks a significant milestone for the show and signals a return to a familiar space for long-time attendees.
With the addition of PTTC, MIAS 2026 will gain over 3,000 square meters of exhibition space, accommodating nearly 100 additional vehicle display slots. The expanded area will also feature a dedicated food court and special exhibits aimed at enhancing the overall visitor experience.
To ensure seamless access between venues, organizers will install a custom-built, fully air-conditioned linkway connecting the East Wing Annex tent of the World Trade Center directly to the PTTC building. Located at the corner of Roxas Boulevard and Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, PTTC will also serve as an alternative access point for visitors. A free shuttle service will transport guests either back to the World Trade Center entrance driveway or to designated nearby parking areas.
The expansion brings the total MIAS 2026 exhibition footprint to approximately 22,500 square meters of combined indoor and outdoor display space, further solidifying its position as the largest automotive event in the Philippines.
Organizers said the expanded capacity will allow more automotive brands, technology showcases, aftermarket exhibitors, and interactive displays to participate. The event continues to position itself as a comprehensive platform for the industry, highlighting advancements in electrified mobility, automotive technology, and lifestyle segments.
Additional details on exhibitors, feature attractions, and ticketing are expected to be announced in the coming months.
