For nearly 30 years, Valve World has been a trusted and dedicated platform for the global valve, actuator, automation and flow-control community. Powered by KCI, the platform connects industry professionals through authoritative technical media, leading conferences, targeted exhibitions and high-impact events. Unlike general industrial shows, Valve World is built by and for the flow-control sector, supporting technical dialogue, verified business connections and long-term industry development across the value chain.

Launched in Singapore in 2023, Valve World Southeast Asia Expo & Conference has grown into a specialised and results-driven event for the regional valve and flow-control industry. Across two successful editions, the event brought together manufacturers, EPC companies, end users, suppliers and technical professionals from Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region. It provided a focused platform for procurement opportunities, technical knowledge exchange, research and development collaboration, business matchmaking and professional networking.

For its third edition, Valve World Southeast Asia Expo & Conference will move to Bangkok, Thailand. Taking place on 15–16 September 2027 at BITEC, Hall 104, the event will position Bangkok as a strategic meeting point connecting global industrial expertise with Southeast Asia’s growing demand, integrated supply chains and expanding projects across energy, petrochemicals, chemicals, power, manufacturing, infrastructure and marine sectors.

The conference will bring together industry experts to share knowledge, address technical challenges and explore new solutions for the valve and flow-control sectors. The programme will feature keynote speeches, technical presentations, industry pain-point sharing and innovative solutions, creating a professional platform for technical exchange, business development and long-term industry growth.
