Malaysia’s Biggest Café & Beverage Expo 2026 Returns with Exciting New Tea Showcase

What is the International Café & Beverage Show (ICBS)?

The International Café & Beverage Show (ICBS) 2026 is set to return as Malaysia’s premier trade exhibition dedicated entirely to the café and beverage industry. Taking place from May 7 to 9, 2026, this event brings together global industry leaders, café owners, baristas, and suppliers under one roof to explore innovation, collaboration, and growth. Hosted at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, ICBS has quickly evolved into one of Southeast Asia’s most influential platforms for beverage professionals.

Unlike general food expos, ICBS is laser-focused on café culture—everything from specialty coffee and artisan tea to café equipment and emerging beverage concepts. It’s not just a showcase; it’s a living ecosystem where ideas are tested, partnerships are formed, and future trends are shaped. Over the years, the show has grown into a critical meeting point for anyone serious about the café business.
