The Health and Wellness Conference and Expo (HWONFEX) 2026, the Philippines’ premier holistic healing and well-being expo and pioneering B2B2C trade fair, will be returning for its fifth run on September 4 to 6, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center and Newport World Resorts in Pasay City.
Opening this year’s edition with the theme “Go Explore, Grow Communities, Glow Together,” the event continues to position the country in the ASEAN region as a top destination for wellness tourism.
HWONFEX 2026 is planned as a three-day event that will gather key health advocates and wellness leaders from various sectors, including non-profit organizations, private companies, and government agencies.
This is the best time to invest in the health and wellness industries, as the world is experiencing strong consumer demand related to longevity, mobility, and sports. Nationally, we have seen the rapid growth in popularity of wellness and nourishment products, alongside increased community engagement in sports activities such as pilates, pickleball, and running.
In recent years, the Philippines has not only become a leading health and wellness destination, but also an attractive retirement country for both locals and international visitors. The genuine hospitality, creativity, and resilience of Filipinos are qualities well-known around the globe.
The Health and Wellness Conference and Expo (HWONFEX) 2026 is the perfect venue for individuals seeking to transition to healthier lives, as well as professionals in search of unique business ideas set to dominate the market. In addition, HWONFEX 2026 is committed to unifying the ASEAN region’s wellness economy under its core vision: ASEAN Wellness One.
