Asian IR Expo Macao

The Asian IR Expo is a leading international trade fair and conference platform for the integrated resort (IR) industry. Its name — Asian Integrated Resort Expo — encapsulates the event’s core focus: a holistic, Asia-driven perspective on travel, hospitality, entertainment, technology and investment models in the integrated resort sector.

Held annually in Macao, the expo brings together decision-makers, operators, developers and technology providers from over 60 countries and regions. The aim is to foster concrete business relationships and showcase forward-looking solutions across the entire IR value chain.

The venue is the Venetian Macao Resort Hotel Convention & Exhibition Centre, one of the largest and most advanced trade fair and conference facilities in Asia. The choice of location is no coincidence: Macao is considered a global benchmark for integrated resorts, seamlessly blending tourism, entertainment, luxury hospitality and gaming at the highest level.

The Asian IR Expo focuses on highly relevant, practice-oriented themes tailored to industry needs. Key areas include marketplaces for travel and integrated resort offerings, hotel concepts, cruise tourism and tourism boards, alongside sports, live entertainment and innovative event formats. This is complemented by a broad array of interior solutions for hotels — from interior design and furnishings to art installations and sustainable upcycling products.

Food and beverage also take centre stage, with curated presentations of wine, spirits and drink concepts designed for premium hospitality settings — including Asian wines, champagne, whisky and craft beer.

A major highlight is the technology zone, which showcases cutting-edge innovations such as smart hotel technologies, AI and big data applications, robotics, energy management systems, cybersecurity, intelligent building solutions, and advanced security and facial recognition systems — all tailored to the specific needs of next-generation integrated resorts.

The expo is organised by RX China, a leading international trade fair organiser with a robust network across Asia and deep industry expertise. In addition to the exhibition, the Asian IR Expo features a high-calibre summit programme with keynotes, panels and strategic discussion formats. Stand-out elements include exclusive networking events and topic-specific industry forums.

Exhibitors represent sectors such as integrated resorts, hospitality, tourism, cruise lines, sports and entertainment, architecture and design, food & beverage, technology, security, and sustainable infrastructure.

Accordingly, the visitor profile is broad yet clearly defined, attracting C-level executives, investors, resort and hotel operators, urban planners, tourism authorities, event and sports agencies, tech decision-makers, procurement professionals and project developers with concrete investment and implementation plans.

Last but not least, the location is a strong draw in itself: The Venetian Macao, situated on the Cotai Strip, is directly connected to world-class hotels, dining and entertainment. It is easily accessible from Macao International Airport and via ferry or bridge from Hong Kong.

With its strategic location, focused content and global reach, the Asian IR Expo offers ideal conditions for efficient business, international exposure and long-term partnerships — right at the heart of where integrated resorts continue to redefine global standards.

The Asian IR Expo will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 12. May to Thursday, 14. May 2026 in Macao.
