The WORLDBEX event is a much-awaited exposition every year for all building and construction suppliers. If you are in a procurement or buying field, this is the best place to source out for new suppliers or general contractors. In my years of working in procurement field, this is the first time that I’m handling requirements for building and construction. Since I’m now in a new industry, I get to handle multi-category of products and services. This time, I don’t focus on IT products alone. Honestly, I enjoy my job now and the company I’m with. I just hope I’ll get regularized. I keep praying on that.
The event took place at SMX Convention Center and at the World Trade Center.
The event took place at SMX Convention Center and at the World Trade Center.
We drop by first at SMX Convention Center. Before we entered the event area, we did the registration first and secured a printed ID.
There was also a raffle offered at the event with the mechanics as well.
There is also a board containing the List of Exhibitors and its location. This will serve as guide for all the participants at the event.
As you enter event, huge booths of displays are on-hand. Each supplier surely ensures that their products and services are noticed. They have different ways in attracting visitors to their booths. Some suppliers offer games where you can win a prize in one of their offered products. Some suppliers offer freebies and promo pricing. Some suppliers have demo units of machine and people who explain their products and services. Here’s the most interesting part, some suppliers have sexy female models to attract male visitors. The female models even wear very revealing clothes and hard make-up that is quite foul for me since it appears that they are just displaying their bodies to the event. I don’t find the significance on wearing too sexy and revealing clothes to the event. Well, this is just my opinion :)
As we roamed around the SMX Convention Center, we find different products that are very promising to some of our projects. There are also products that are well-represented and well-oriented that I find them attractive for Instagram posts. Especially those designs created by Interior Designers and Architects.
I find these chairs that come in different shapes very attractive. These chairs are offered by SixInch Philippines whose philosophy is to bring creativity and innovation together. The chairs are made from the process of foam cutting. Their designs would surely fit the interiors of both professional and private. We will try to reach out to the supplier of these products and request a demo presentation from them.
Going to the World Trade Center is not that difficult because the event organizer had assigned free shuttle buses that will bring participants to the other side. We continued the vendor sourcing on this side wherein wide range of booths had welcomed us. The place is a combination of both the international and local booths from 16 participants from different countries. Some of our local brands had strengthen their partnership from these international participants.
Apart from the various booths, there are also unique setups from various designers that give attractions to the visitors. There is the Mañosa Exhibit, City of Tomorrow, the Architect’s Gallery, and the Designer’s Gallery.

This year, WORLDBEX was much bigger compared to the previous years since the variety of products and services showcased is even better. Most of the country’s most influential people, design firms, stakeholders, manufacturers, construction companies, interior designers, engineers, and architects are gathered in this expo.
The WORLDBEX 2019 experience was very new to me but it gave me an open knowledge on different products and existing industries that are way bigger than Information Technology. They also have this WORLDBEX app that is specially designed for the event. It offers improvement to visitor’s experience because of its updated technological innovation. This app will help the visitors to explore the booths in a more efficient and comfortable way. For next year’s expo, please try to use this to make your sourcing more fruitful and effective.
