HREX 2026: The Philippines' First-Ever Premier HR Solutions Expo to Debut at SMX Convention Center This September


HREX 2026, the Philippines' first dedicated expo for human resources solutions, will launch on September 22–23, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center. Anchored on the theme 'AI, Workforce Solutions & Beyond,' the event brings together leading local and international vendors, cutting-edge technology, and top thought leaders to reshape the country's workplace management. The premier expo is supported by the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP).

MANILA, Philippines, August 27, 2026 – The Philippines is set to mark a significant milestone in its corporate history with the launch of HREX 2026, the nation’s first-ever dedicated expo for human resources solutions. Taking place on September 22–23, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, Metro Manila, the landmark event will convene top local and international AI and workforce solution providers under one roof to showcase the next generation of talent management technology.

Meeting the Demands of a Rapidly Transforming Workforce

The debut of HREX comes at a critical juncture for the Philippine workforce, which currently comprises over 47 million employed individuals navigating rapid digital transformation. As AI shifts from a future trend to an everyday operational reality, local organizations are actively seeking solutions that optimize recruitment, payroll, employee engagement, and overall compliance. HREX aims to serve as the definitive, single-destination marketplace for HR leaders to explore these advanced technologies.

Organized through a collaboration between Future First Talents and AFT Corp., the inaugural expo is anchored on the theme "AI, Workforce Solutions & Beyond." It will highlight both state-of-the-art automation tools and foundational human-centric services—ranging from health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and mental health programs to office design and banking partners.

Industry Leadership and Collaborative Spaces

To drive meaningful industry progress, HREX 2026 is supported by the country's preeminent human resources network, the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP). This institutional partnership brings credibility and deep community outreach to the inaugural event.

"We built HREX because the Filipino HR community deserves a space that is entirely theirs—not a side stage at a general business conference, but a dedicated home for the conversations, solutions, and connections that move the profession forward," said Patt Soyao, President of Future First Talents Inc. and Business Partner of HREX 2026.

Bryan Co, President of AFT Corp. and Business Partner of HREX 2026, emphasized the impact of physical networking: "In a physical event like HREX, decisions happen faster. What usually takes months can happen in a day. HR is still all about people; you can’t replace real conversations, trust, and chemistry."

World-Class Insight Stage Sessions

Alongside the expansive exhibition floor, HREX 2026 will host the Insight Stage, featuring 10 keynote and panel sessions across the two-day event. Prominent leaders from some of the region's top brands—such as Jobstreet by SEEK, Canva, Sprout Solutions, UnionBank, TESDA, and the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP)—will share actionable insights on AI-driven talent acquisition, burnout prevention, digital HR operations, and total rewards strategy.

Registration is now open for HR professionals, procurement specialists, and business leaders. For tickets, schedule details, and further updates, please visit the official event website at www.hrex.ph or contact the team via email at marketing@hrex.ph.
