Metro Manila is welcoming entrepreneurs, business leaders, and innovators from across the globe as the International Business Matching Conference (IBMC) 2026 takes place on June 17-18, 2026, at the prestigious Newport World Resorts in Pasay City.
Organized by BNI Philippines, the two-day conference brings together over 1,600 Filipino entrepreneurs and international delegates from more than 76 countries. BNI Philippines has reported closing over 10 billion pesos in business through its referral network, and IBMC 2026 aims to push that figure even higher by facilitating meaningful connections between local and global business communities.
The conference features a packed agenda of business matching sessions, keynote presentations, networking workshops, and panel discussions focused on emerging market trends, digital transformation, and cross-border trade opportunities. Attendees can expect to engage with industry leaders from sectors including technology, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and professional services.
For small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Philippines, events like IBMC 2026 provide invaluable access to international markets and partnerships. The conference format emphasizes one-on-one business matching, where pre-scheduled meetings connect complementary businesses for potential collaborations, joint ventures, and supply chain partnerships.
Newport World Resorts, located in the heart of Metro Manilas entertainment and business district, provides a world-class venue for the event. The resort complex is known for hosting major international conferences, concerts, and exhibitions, making it an ideal setting for a gathering of this scale.
The IBMC 2026 underscores Metro Manilas position as a key business hub in Southeast Asia, attracting investment and fostering entrepreneurship across the region. With the Philippine economy continuing to show strong growth, conferences like this play a vital role in connecting Filipino businesses to the global marketplace.
