All international trade fairs on the official calendar for Istanbul and Antalya from November 2026 to December 2027, month by month: dates, sector and venue. Use it to plan your year, then check the fairs you are considering against the organiser’s own announcement before you book space or freight.
The dates come from the official 2026 and 2027 trade fair calendars approved by TOBB, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye, which authorises every trade fair held in the country. We used the list as updated on 9 October 2026 and checked the larger fairs against their organisers’ websites on 23 October 2026. Where an organiser has published different dates, we show the organiser’s and say so; where the organiser has not yet published anything, the row says that too.
Fairs with a link have their own stand-builder guide on this site, covering the venue’s limits, the approval route and what a stand there costs.

Most international fairs in the country are held at İFM or Tüyap, and the two are not interchangeable. Istanbul Expo Center caps stands at 5.8 m and rates its hall floors at 2,250 kg/m²; Tüyap rates halls 1–10 at 5 t/m² and halls 11, 12, 11A and 12A at 3 t/m², and only allows a second storey on stands larger than 24 m². A stand designed for one venue usually needs changes before it can be built at the other.

Weeks when several fairs build at once
In these weeks more than one large fair is being installed at the same time, so installation crews, trucks, in-hall lifting and hotel rooms are split between venues. If your fair falls in one of them, book your stand builder and your hotel earlier than you otherwise would.

Fairs held twice a year
Texhibition (March and September), AYMOD (March and late September), the Istanbul Jewelry Show (spring and October) and IFCO (February and August) each run two editions in 2027. If you exhibit at both, a stand built to be reused — stored between editions and refreshed with new graphics — usually costs much less over the year than two separate builds.
How far ahead to plan a stand
Turkish organisers review custom stand designs before anything is built, and the deadline arrives well before the fair: Automechanika Istanbul, for example, requires drawings two months in advance. Working back from that, start a custom stand 10–12 weeks before the fair, and earlier for machinery, two-storey stands or the busy weeks listed above. A modular stand can be turned round in less.
Frequently asked questions
Where do these dates come from?
From the official trade fair calendars approved by TOBB, which authorises every trade fair in Türkiye, cross-checked against organisers’ websites for the larger fairs. Organisers occasionally move a fair after the list is approved, so confirm with the organiser before committing to space or freight.
Which trade fairs are in Istanbul in April and May 2027?
April opens with SolarEX (7–9 April) and Tube Eurasia & wire Eurasia (7–10 April), followed by Expomed Eurasia (15–18 April), Motobike Istanbul (21–24 April) and Yapı – Turkeybuild (27–30 April). May brings IDEF (3–9 May), Asansör İstanbul (6–9 May) and Hometex (25–29 May). The full lists are in the April and May tables above.
What are the main exhibition centres in Istanbul?
Istanbul Expo Center (İFM) in Yeşilköy and Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Büyükçekmece host most international fairs. Smaller and specialist events use the Kadir Topbaş centre in Yenikapı, the Lütfi Kırdar centre in Harbiye and the Haliç Congress Center.
Do I need a stand builder in Turkey?
If you book raw space, yes: the organiser needs to know which company is building your stand and must approve its drawings. A builder based in Istanbul also avoids shipping a stand across borders and can solve problems on site the same day.
Creostand is an exhibition stand builder in Istanbul: we design, manufacture in our own workshop in Esenyurt and install at Tüyap, Istanbul Expo Center and ANFAŞ.
