Vietnam Expo Hanoi is held at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC) in Dong Anh, on the outskirts of Hanoi, with the 2027 (36th edition) taking place in May. It is Vietnam's longest-running general trade and sourcing fair, covering consumer goods, machinery, electronics, agriculture, industrial products and services, and serving as a key platform for regional trade promotion. The event draws exhibitors and buyers from across Vietnam, ASEAN and further afield, filling the exhibition halls over several days. Because the Vietnam Exhibition Center sits in Dong Anh north of the Red River, away from the central hotel districts, well-located rooms with reliable transport to the venue are in demand and book out as the show approaches. Delegates who book late can face longer commutes into and out of the city centre. Event Escapes shows live, bookable hotel rates sorted by real distance from the Vietnam Exhibition Center, so you can balance proximity against price and keep your travel days efficient.
