This is your official invitation to exhibit at the coolest frozen dessert platform in the Philippines.
From immersive tasting zones to live demonstrations, ICEGEX will feature an expansive exhibition hall, expert-led seminar sessions, exciting live demos, and even a first-of-its-kind ice cream competition, entitled SORBESTES.

The goal of ICEGEX is to draw trade and consumer visitors eager to explore the latest in flavor, technique, and business opportunities. From gelato and soft-serve innovators like Araro Gelato and Miruku to equipment and labelling suppliers like Smartpack and Asiatrends, exhibitors are invited from all key sectors of the frozen dessert ecosystem.
These include ice cream and gelato manufacturers showcasing their products to retail and foodservice buyers, as well as suppliers of premium dairy and plant-based ingredients, sweeteners, flavor enhancers, chocolate and pralines, and confectionery that pair with frozen treats.
Businesses specializing in machinery, production and freezing equipment, sustainable packaging, digital scales, and weighing systems are encouraged to participate, along with technology solution providers offering POS systems, supply chain tools, and business platforms for franchise operations.
