Media Expo Mumbai 2027: 8-10 April at BEC | Visitor Guide

Media Expo Mumbai 2027 runs from 8 to 10 April 2027 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Goregaon East, Mumbai. If you work anywhere in signage, large format printing, LED displays or digital signage in India, this is one of the biggest trade shows on the calendar.

Media Expo is a long running B2B exhibition for indoor and outdoor advertising and signage, with a legacy of more than two decades, and the Mumbai edition is the biggest of the three shows in the circuit. Organised by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India, it has shifted noticeably toward digital signage and display technology in recent years. Here is what to expect and how to plan your visit.

Media Expo Mumbai 2027 at a glance: dates, venue and key facts

What is Media Expo Mumbai 2027?

Media Expo is a business-only trade fair for the people who make, sell, buy and install signage and advertising media in India. That covers signage fabricators, printers, display manufacturers, software vendors, advertising agencies, retailers and the agencies that build outdoor media networks. It has run for more than two decades, and the Mumbai edition in April is the flagship of the series.

The show runs as a multi-city circuit. Alongside Mumbai, Messe Frankfurt India also holds Media Expo editions in Delhi and Chennai, which lets the trade fair reach buyers in different regional markets through the year. Mumbai is consistently the largest and most internationally attended of the three.

Over recent editions the product mix has moved steadily toward technology. Digital signage, LED displays and POP and POSM solutions now take up a much bigger share of the floor than they did a few years ago, sitting alongside the traditional large format printing and signage fabrication categories the show was built on.

Dates, timings and how to reach the venue

Media Expo Mumbai 2027 takes place from Thursday 8 April to Saturday 10 April 2027 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), NESCO Complex, Western Express Highway, Goregaon East, Mumbai 400063. Show timings are 10 AM to 6 PM on 8 and 9 April, and 10 AM to 5 PM on the final day, 10 April, with entry closing 30 minutes before the halls shut.

BEC is one of India's largest exhibition complexes and it is straightforward to reach. It is roughly 25 minutes by road from Terminal 2 of Mumbai International Airport. The venue is served by Goregaon East metro station on Mumbai Metro Line 7, and Ram Mandir station on the Western Line is close by. In Mumbai traffic, the metro or the local train is usually faster than a cab.

What to expect on the show floor

Because Media Expo Mumbai 2027 is still some months out, the most reliable picture comes from what recent editions have consistently offered. The 2026 edition, held 9 to 11 April 2026 as the 57th edition, ran with around 140 exhibitors, more than 350 products and roughly 250 brands across about 15,000 square metres. Here is how that floor usually breaks down.

Digital signage and LED displays

• Digital signage software platforms, including cloud, on-premise and USB based options

• Indoor and outdoor LED video walls, fine pitch and transparent displays

• Digital menu boards, kiosks and lobby and queue displays

• Media players and screen hardware for retail and public spaces

Large format printing and consumables

• UV, latex, solvent and sublimation printers for indoor and outdoor work

• Print media such as flex, vinyl, fabric and reflective films

• Inks, coatings and finishing equipment

Signage fabrication and materials

• Channel letters, 3D signage and modular signage systems

• Acrylic, ACP, metal and engraving materials

• CNC routers, laser cutters and fabrication machinery

Retail displays, POP and POSM

Recent editions have given growing space to point-of-purchase displays, FSDU units, shelf edge media and modular shop fittings. This is the part of the show that overlaps most closely with retail visual merchandising, and it has expanded as Indian retailers have spent more on in-store communication.

Who should attend Media Expo Mumbai 2027?

Media Expo Mumbai is built for the full Indian visual communication trade. You will get value from a visit if your work sits in any of these areas:

• Signage manufacturers, fabricators and installers

• Digital signage software providers, system integrators and DOOH operators

• Large format, screen and digital printing companies

• Advertising agencies, media buyers and brand managers

• Retail chains, QSR brands, automotive showrooms and shopping mall operators

Why Media Expo Mumbai 2027 matters for digital signage professionals

Digital signage has become one of the faster-growing categories on the Media Expo floor, and the Mumbai edition is one of the few places in India where you can compare a wide range of platforms, displays and integrators in a single visit. If you are scoping a signage rollout for a retail chain, a bank or a hospitality group, that side-by-side view saves a lot of back and forth.

The show puts software and hardware in the same building, so you can weigh cloud, on-premise and USB based platforms against the screens and media players they will run on. If you want to do some homework before you walk the floor, our guide to the best digital signage software in India for any screen and our overview of retail digital signage software are both useful starting points. If outdoor media is your focus, the rundown of DOOH benefits for brands and agencies is worth a read too.
