Kolkata’s trade shows are spread over a few venues, and most of them sit in one area: the Biswa Bangla complex. Between December 2026 and November 2027 the calendars list 13 exhibitions with a stated Kolkata venue, plus a cluster of five summit-and-exhibition events in May.

The 19 to 20 May cluster
Five events are listed for 19 to 20 May 2027: Agni Raksha Bharat, Bharat Marine Systems, Bharat Aerospace and Defence, Drone Shaurya and SwaRaksha Mahotsav. Their descriptions mix summits, awards and exhibitions, so the exhibition part may be smaller than the name suggests. Check with each organiser before planning a stand.
What we left out
We left out the Global Road Construction Conference, which is a conference at a hotel, and the Premier Schools Exhibition, which is at a hotel. The International Kolkata Book Fair, from 22 January to 3 February, is a public book fair at Boimela Prangan rather than a trade show. Some listings were also dropped: India Energy Week and GeoSpace Bharat are listed under Kolkata, but their descriptions point to Goa and Ahmedabad, and IITM and MRO Shakti Bharat do not name a venue.
What to check before you design
Ask the organiser for the hall plan and the stand rules before the design is final. Height limits, power and rigging rules can differ between venues and shows. You can see our work in the city on the Kolkata stand builder page, and our stand cost guide explains what affects the price. For shows in other cities, use the exhibition calendar.
