Sustaining Excellence
Across Bounds
Over the years, WORLDBEX
would continue to blaze the
trail with various breakthroughs,
milestones, and boundaryspanning
achievements. The
following year after its maiden
show, WORLDBEX was held at
the World Trade Center Manila
for the first time. Attended by
then Vice President Joseph
Estrada, “Construction Week”
was once again renewed.
For its 1999 installment, WORLDBEX presented the very first WORLDBEX Seminars with 600
delegates and the first-ever Grand Embassy Pavilion which was supported by the European Chamber of
Commerce of the Philippines and the US Commercial Service. The introduction of these show highlights
will eventually set in motion the development of more trademark fixtures that WORLDBEX is
highly-regarded for.
2003 marked a monumental
milestone for WORLDBEX
as it demonstrates its
magnificent growth with the
addition of the Philippine
Trade Trading Center as its
second venue. It was also
during this year when
WORLDBEX began to
exhibit its steady capacity to
establish global links with
its National Pavilions. The
following year, another
signature show feature, the
Architects Gallery, was
launched at WORLDBEX.
Evidently, there was no stopping WORLDBEX from expanding and 2005 bore witness to the show’s rise to
the top as the country’s biggest and most comprehensive construction and design expo. For the first time,
WORLDBEX was held in three venues with the addition of World Trade Center Manila’s extended wing to
its exhibit space. In 2008, WORLDBEX continued to break new records as it experienced an all-time high
in the participation of international exhibitors who hailed from 30 different countries.
