ARCHIDEX 2024: More Halls, More Products and More Opportunities
The largest architecture exhibition in Malaysia, Archidex 2024 is poised to transform the industry with all the latest innovations and cutting-edge technology, as it returns for the 23rd consecutive year from 3 to 6 July 2024 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Building on last year’s overwhelming success, ARCHIDEX is back with an even bigger spread of 700 exhibitors, 1,500 booths, across 11 halls showcasing the latest advancements in architecture and building materials, technologies, interior fittings, and sustainable solutions. For four days, over 40,000 visitors from the architecture, interior design and building industry, professionals, and enthusiasts from more than 100 countries are expected to throng the halls of KLCC, to experience the ultimate transformative power of architectural innovation.
ARCHIDEX is held concurrently with the DATUM conferences, both much-anticipated events of the Kuala Lumpur Architecture Festival (KLAF 2024). ARCHIDEX also features a variety of panels, workshops, talks, demonstrations and carefully curated content by notable speakers, serving as a platform to enhance knowledge-sharing, networking and stimulate trade deals among market players.
Last year, ARCHIDEX facilitated more than RM1 billion in sales transactions, while this year, with the broader reach and larger number of exhibitors and visitors, it is expected to exceed this figure considerably. ARCHIDEX offers an immersive experience that brings together the three core pillars of the exhibition – Future Architecture, Sustainability and Wellbeing – to champion people-centric built environment. It sets the stage for architects, designers, and industry leaders to keep pace with emerging trends, breakthrough solutions and technological advancements that have come into the industry, inspiring transformative solutions that will shape the future of architecture.
Beyond a trade exhibition, ARCHIDEX also plays a crucial role in catalysing conversations and regional cooperation. This year, ARCHIDEX is also in collaboration with the Malaysian Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT), who will be the host for the ASEAN-China Ministerial Roundtable on Construction & Housing (ACMROCH) 2024. This gathering will bring together Ministers from the ASEAN countries and China to engage crucial discussions aimed at deepening and strengthening the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and ASEAN-China cooperation in housing and development in conjunction with the 50 th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China.
Over the years, ARCHIDEX’s central role has been to bring together the architecture, interior design and building industry, to drive discussions on issues and challenges that the industry faces, seeking viable and working solutions. The DATUM conferences held together with ARCHIDEX will present delegates the opportunity to enrich their knowledge, and gain insights into emerging trends in the industry. DATUM also provides a unique platform for networking, fostering collaborations, and propelling the industry towards innovation and growth.
These conferences comprise DATUM:KL, DATUM+PLUS, and DATUM:GREEN, and will bring to the mix a lineup of esteemed speakers from both local and international spheres. In addition to the DATUM conferences, ARCHIDEX will also showcase the ARCHIDEX Star Award Products, PAM Awards as well as other knowledge sharing sessions – ARCHIDEX Biz Talk and Focus Forum for the architecture fraternity to keep updated with the current trends, latest products, materials and solutions.
ARCHIDEX 2024 is scheduled to take place from 3 to 6 July 2024 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, from 10am to 7pm.
