December 2026 looks quiet on paper, with only six listed shows, but the dates tell a different story. All six open within a single week, between 3 and 9 December. That means stand builds for every one of them happen at almost the same time. Here is the month laid out week by week, with the shows we track.
December 2026 in numbers
- 6 listed shows: 5 in India and 1 in Dubai
- All 6 open between 3 and 9 December
- 5 cities: Chennai, Greater Noida, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Dubai
Week of 30 November to 6 December

The first show of the month. See our Paperex page
India ITME 2026 | 4 to 9 Dec 2026
India Expo Mart (IEML), Greater Noida | Textiles and machinery

Week of 7 to 13 December
GITEX Global 2026 | 7 to 11 Dec 2026
Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai | Technology
The only international show of the month, which means shipping and venue contractor rules come into play. See our GITEX page

Dates and venues are as listed at the time of writing and can change. Please confirm with each organiser before you book.
What this clustering means
- Fabrication slots fill early. Six builds in one week means workshops, carpenters and trucks are all booked at once. A stand that is not in fabrication by about the third week of November will be rushed.
- Do not double up your team. If you want to exhibit at both Bengaluru shows, you need two crews on the same days.
- Watch the 9 December overlap. ITME, GITEX, WOFX and the two Bengaluru shows are all running on 9 December.
It is now early November, so for most of these shows a modular stand with custom graphics is the realistic option. Our build timeline guide shows what each stage needs, and the 30-day checklist helps you cover the last month. See all shows on major exhibitions.

Frequently asked questions
Which exhibitions are listed for December 2026?
The shows we track are Paperex South India in Chennai, India ITME in Greater Noida, GITEX Global in Dubai, WOFX in Mumbai, and Green Energy India Expo and Auto EV Bharat in Bengaluru. Please confirm dates with each organiser.
Is it too late to plan a stand for a December show?
For a fully custom stand it is tight. A modular stand with custom graphics is often still possible. Share your show and stand size and we will tell you what is realistic.
Which December show is the longest?
India ITME is listed for 4 to 9 December, six days, the longest of the six.
Can one team handle two December shows?
Only if the dates do not overlap. Green Energy India Expo and Auto EV Bharat run on the same days, so they need separate teams.
