DAVAO The Philippines beefs up its meeting venue arsenal, welcoming the SMX Conventon Center Davao on September 28.
Davao City is the archipelago’s third premier gateway – after Manila and Cebu – and the largest city on the island of Mindanao.
Trade hall
Located on the third level of SM Lanang Premier Mall, which also opens on the same day, this sister facility of SMX Convention Center Manila is the first SMX-branded entity outside the capital city. SMX Convention Specialist Corporation runs both operations as well as the Trade Halls in SM Megamall Mandaluyong City and Cebu City.
Providing accommodation to customers of SMX Davao will be the 204-room Park Inn by Radisson that’s linked to the mall.
Pre-function lobby
