Expo CIHAC is held at Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City, with the 2027 edition taking place in October. It is the leading construction industry trade fair in Mexico and one of the most significant in Latin America, covering building materials, machinery, tools, architecture, infrastructure and construction technology. The fair gathers builders, developers, architects, engineers, distributors and suppliers from across Mexico and the wider region, filling the large Centro Citibanamex halls over several days of exhibitions and conference sessions. Because Expo CIHAC concentrates the national construction calendar into one week and Centro Citibanamex sits in the Polanco/Hipodromo area of a vast, traffic-heavy city, well-located hotels with reliable access to the venue are in strong demand and book out ahead of the show. Delegates who leave it late can lose hours each day to cross-city travel. Event Escapes shows live, bookable hotel rates sorted by real distance from Centro Citibanamex, so you can weigh proximity against price before committing and keep your schedule workable.
