CityHouse · SECC Events · November 2026
November 2026 is far busier than October for SECC events November 2026, with 15 trade shows following one another almost every week at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center. The first week belongs to water, power and HVAC; mid-month is food season, with SIAL Vietnam arriving for the first time; the month closes with healthcare, machinery and chemicals. We have split the calendar into two halves so it is easier to plan, with tips on staying at CityHouse if you need to get to SECC several days in a row.

03Guide

Which events fit your needs?

If you work in infrastructure or building services, the first week is the one to attend: Vietwater, HVACR Vietnam and Vietnam Energy Week run together from Nov 4 to 6, so one visit can cover all three. Food, beverage and retail businesses should set aside Nov 11 to 14, when SIAL Vietnam, Vietnam Foodexpo and Foodexpo International fill most of SECC. Fashion brands and the baby-products sector have SIUF and CBME Vietnam from Nov 19 to 21; CBME is also open to the public, so it suits families. The month ends with the largest cluster, from Nov 25 to 27, covering healthcare, laboratories, machinery, welding, chemicals and rubber, which is most useful for factories and equipment buyers. Overall, Ho Chi Minh City trade shows November this year are concentrated almost entirely at SECC. If you followed the October 2026 events in Ho Chi Minh City, November leans much more towards B2B, with fewer entertainment events at SECC.

04Before you go

A few things to check before attending

This list was compiled through October 21, 2026. Opening hours here follow SECC's calendar; many organizers have not yet published final-day hours, entry fees or age limits. Most of the late-month exhibitions ask for online pre-registration, and Vietnam Foodexpo is for trade visitors only. Open “View details” and recheck the official links before you travel, especially if you plan to go on the afternoon of the last day.

05CityHouse Stay

Where to stay during a busy exhibition month

If you will be at SECC several days in a row, CityHouse NEST Bellita (Alley 793/39 Tran Xuan Soan, Tan Hung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) is the closest option, so morning trips to SECC avoid bridge traffic. If you are combining exhibitions with client meetings or dinners in the city centre, CityHouse NEST LightHouse Saigon (179 Co Giang, Cau Ong Lanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) offers a better balance and is still a short ride to SECC. Before you go, read the SECC exhibition guide or choose a CityHouse by area to match your stay to your schedule.

CityHouse NEST Bellita, a convenient stay for events at SECC
NEST Bellita is practical when most of the itinerary is centered on SECC and south HCMC.
CityHouse NEST LightHouse Saigon, a stay near central Ho Chi Minh City
LightHouse Saigon works well when you combine exhibitions with meetings in the city centre.
