International Asian American Business Expo (IAABE) 2026

IAABE is the Coalition of Filipino American Chambers of Commerce’s signature Southern California business expo, now in its third year. For two days, Asian American chambers, local operators, international trade delegations, exhibitors, and consular partners share one floor in Torrance: business marketplace access, plenaries, workshops, and structured networking. FACC-GLA and other FilAm chambers are heavily involved. The South Bay is where Japanese American, Filipino, and broader Asian business density already lives, so the expo sits closer to those operators than a downtown convention hall. Third year running means returning chambers and delegations already know the Torrance floor; first-timers should still pick visitor vs delegate vs exhibitor before they buy.

August 7-8, 2026 at the Torrance Marriott Redondo Beach, 3635 Fashion Way. Free visitor admission is available with registration on the COFACC site. Paid full-access delegate packages add conference programming, lunches, and gala entry; member and non-member tiers are listed on the local delegate page, and a networking reception is an optional add-on. Exhibitor tables and a Community Leadership Awards & Gala have separate registration paths. Visitor pass, local delegate, exhibitor, and awards gala links all live on cofacc.org.

Visitor passes get you onto the marketplace floor. Delegate packages are for people who want the conference block, meals, and gala. Exhibitor inventory is for operators who need a table, not just a badge. Chamber-density B2B rooms like this are where South Bay operators actually meet consular and trade partners without flying to a national conference. Early-bird windows close, and walk-up assumptions are unsafe for delegate and gala tickets.

Go if you want Asian American chamber deal flow in Torrance, cross-border partnership conversations, or exhibitor visibility. Confirm current pricing and pass type on cofacc.org before you buy, and pick the registration path that matches how you actually work the floor.
