Philippine Woodmac 2026 – North Edition, Subic will make its debut on 7-9 May 2026 at the Subic Bay Exhibition & Convention Center as the first national event dedicated exclusively to the Philippines’ wood and furniture industry.
Organised by the Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines (CFIP) and Pablo Publishing & Exhibition, this inaugural edition will bring together manufacturers, exporters, suppliers, and innovators from across the entire value chain. This event also incorporates the Philippine Wood Expo, organized by the Philippine Wood Producers Association (PWPA).
Positioned at the intersection of craftsmanship and innovation, Philippine Woodmac 2026 serves as a launchpad for emerging trends, sustainable design solutions, and cross-industry collaboration. Set to become Southeast Asia’s premier wood and furniture platform, the event offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of the industry from the ground up.
Why the Philippines?
The Philippines is a rising hub for the wood and furniture industry, fueled by a booming export market, growing demand for sustainable materials, and strong government support—making it a prime destination for investment and business growth in Southeast Asia.
