Please contact our sales department for detailed quotation sheets and early-bird discounts.

4. Can exhibitors customize their event booths, or does the organizer handle it?
If you select a standard shell scheme, the organizer will hand over a basic equipped booth.

Direct sales at the exhibition (retail to the general public) are strictly restricted by the organizer to maintain a professional trade environment.

The organizer partners with professional official logistics providers to assist you in moving machinery exhibitions, packaging equipment, or food products into the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC). Detailed loading schedules, parking maps, and cold storage regulations are provided in the Exhibitor Manual.
8. What should international exhibitors (e.g.,ASEAN pavilions) keep in mind?
SIAL Vietnam is a premier international trade exhibition. Therefore, all imported goods brought in for display must comply with Vietnam’s customs laws and food quarantine regulations. We provide recommended official logistics partners to help you navigate these clearance procedures smoothly.
