MANILA, Philippines - Bacolod City will have more reason to smile as SMX Convention Center, the largest privately owned convention and exhibition center in the Philippines opens its first convention center in the Visayas on Oct. 16, coinciding with the popular Masskara Festival.

“With the upcoming opening of the first SMX Convention Center in the Visayas, we are very excited for Bacolod City and the province of Negros Occidental.  We are looking forward to showcase our SMX brand of exceptional service and to be the catalyst of the growth of the MICE Industry in this side of the Philippines. SMX will be the game changer for Bacolod as it did for Manila, Davao and recently in Taguig City,” Dexter Deyto, vice president and general manager of the SMX Convention Center, said. 

SMX Bacolod will be the premier exhibition and convention venue in the region. Boasting  modern meeting facilities and services of international standards, SMX Bacolod offers 8,218 square meters of event space, with a pre-function lobby, six meeting rooms, and three function rooms that can accommodate up to 4,500 people.

Strategically located at the third level of SM City Bacolod, it will be the ideal venue to support the Philippines’ fast growing MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions, exhibitions) industry. SMX Bacolod is also located in the bustling domestic and international port area and will be within close proximity to several commercial establishments and popular tourist destinations.
