MIAS 2026 to see return of PH Trade Training Center as additional venue

The 2026 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) will see the return of a familiar venue that's just beside World Trade Center Metro Manila (WTCMM).

After undergoing repurposing and redevelopment, the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) is back as an additional & connected exhibition venue for MIAS 2026. The inclusion of PTTC marks a meaningful milestone for MIAS, rekindling a long-standing partnership between the two venues.

The last time PTTC served as a secondary exhibition space was during MIAS 2018, held from April 5 to 8. With its reopening part of MIAS 2026, it signals a symbolic homecoming for motoring enthusiasts and long-time MIAS visitors who fondly remember the venue as part of the show’s earlier expansions.

With PTTC back in the event footprint, MIAS 2026 significantly increases its exhibition capacity. The additional venue contributes over 3,000 square meters of exhibition floor space, allowing for nearly 100 additional vehicle display slots. The expansion will also house a dedicated food court and several special exhibits designed to further enhance the visitor experience.

This brings the total MIAS 2026 exhibition footprint to around 22,500 square meters of combined indoor & outdoor display space. The expanded venue capacity allows organizers to accommodate more participating brands, technology showcases, aftermarket exhibitors, and interactive experiences for visitors.

Organizers will install a custom-built, fully air-conditioned linkway that directly connects the East Wing Annex tent of the World Trade Center to the PTTC building to ensure seamless visitor movement between venues. Moreover, the return of PTTC will also serve as a convenient access point for guests. In addition, visitors exiting PTTC can take advantage of a free shuttle service that will transport them either back to the World Trade Center entrance driveway or to designated nearby parking facilities.

As MIAS prepares for its 2026 edition, the return of PTTC underscores the show’s commitment to growth, accessibility, and delivering a world-class automotive experience to Filipino car enthusiasts.
