2026 ASEAN High-Performance Machining Summit Moves to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

The 2026 ASEAN High-Performance Machining Summit — Autoparts, Electronics, Assembly Automation, organized by Ringier Events, a division of Ringier Trade Media Ltd., will be held on March 10, 2026, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

After two successful consecutive editions in Hanoi, the summit is moving south to Vietnam’s largest commercial and industrial center. This decision reflects Ringier Events’ ongoing commitment to staying close to where manufacturing innovation is happening—while creating greater value and stronger engagement for delegates, sponsors, and exhibitors alike.

Ho Chi Minh City is widely recognized as a powerhouse for advanced manufacturing, electronics, automotive components, and precision engineering, making it a natural next destination for the summit’s continued growth.

“After hosting the conference in Hanoi for two consecutive years, we felt that the time was right to move to Ho Chi Minh City,” says Kathryn Elagio, Events Manager, South East Asia, Ringier Trade Media Ltd. “HCMC is strategically located near major industrial parks such as Saigon Hi-Tech Park, Long Hau Industrial Park, and Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone. These areas are home to a strong concentration of electronics, automotive, and precision engineering companies. By hosting the summit here, we can be closer to manufacturers, technology adopters, and decision-makers who are actively shaping the future of the industry.”

Why Ho Chi Minh City?

For sponsors and exhibitors, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) offers direct access to one of Vietnam’s most vibrant and commercially active manufacturing ecosystems. As the country’s economic engine, the city brings together OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, system integrators, contract manufacturers, and end users across automotive, electronics, precision engineering, and industrial automation.

Its close proximity to major industrial zones—including Saigon Hi-Tech Park, Long Hau Industrial Park, and Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone—allows sponsors and exhibitors to engage face-to-face with plant managers, production engineers, procurement leaders, and technical decision-makers who are actively looking for machining, automation, and productivity-enhancing solutions.

Ho Chi Minh City also offers:

• A high concentration of private-sector manufacturers, supporting faster and more practical purchasing decisions

• A strong presence of foreign-invested enterprises, particularly from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Europe, and China

• Excellent international and regional connectivity, making travel convenient for ASEAN and global participants

• A dynamic business environment that encourages in-person networking, technical exchanges, and long-term partnerships

By bringing the 2026 ASEAN High-Performance Machining Summit to Ho Chi Minh City, sponsors and exhibitors can expect stronger engagement, higher-quality leads, and greater visibility among Southeast Asia’s most commercially active manufacturing audience.
