    Project Lebanon has confirmed dates for its 27th edition. The international trade exhibition for construction, infrastructure, electricity and renewable energy will run from September 29 to October 2, 2026, at Seaside Arena on the Beirut New Waterfront, with daily hours from 4pm to 10pm.

    This year's edition runs concurrently with Interiors Lebanon, putting structural trade and finishing trade together under one roof for four days.

    The Four Sectors on the Floor

    Project Lebanon is organized around four connected industries this year: construction, infrastructure, electricity and renewable energy. The construction segment covers contractors, building materials suppliers, machinery distributors and finishing product brands. Infrastructure draws in water, wastewater, roads and public works specialists. The electricity track brings in power equipment, transmission and distribution suppliers, and energy efficiency vendors, while renewable energy gathers solar developers, battery storage vendors, inverter brands and EPC firms.

    Past editions are reported to have featured exhibitors from Lebanon, the Gulf, Turkey, Italy, China and Germany, alongside Lebanese contractors, engineering houses and supplier groups. The 2026 exhibitor list has not yet been published in full.

    Seaside Arena and the Evening Hours

    Seaside Arena on the Beirut New Waterfront is the host venue, with the show running from 4pm to 10pm each day. Evening hours are a deliberate choice. They give working professionals time to visit after office hours and line up with the milder late September and early October temperatures along the coast.

    The Waterfront location also makes parking and large vehicle access easier than central Beirut venues, a factor for exhibitors moving heavy machinery, modular structures or solar mock-ups onto the floor.

    Why the Autumn Slot Counts

    The September to October window lands as Lebanon's reconstruction file, private sector building activity and solar deployment all run in parallel. For Lebanese contractors and suppliers, the show is one of the few moments in the year where regional buyers and project developers gather in one place. For international exhibitors, it is a chance to read demand in a market where donor-backed infrastructure programmes, private developers and households are all sourcing in different lanes.

    What's Still to Be Announced

    Organizers are reported to open the full conference programme, the official exhibitor list and the visitor registration link through the official Project Lebanon website in the months before the show. The firm anchors for now are the dates, the venue and the daily hours: September 29 to October 2, 2026, Seaside Arena, Beirut New Waterfront, 4pm to 10pm.
