2GO, the Philippines’ largest and most integrated end-to-end transportation and logistics solutions provider, is set to serve as the official logistics partner of around 300 maritime businesses participating in BEACON Expo 2026.
Exhibitors and contractors are expected to benefit from a more seamless and efficient event experience through 2GO-SMX Events Logistics, a centralized permit and logistics facilitation system established by 2GO Group, SMX Convention Center, Central Business Park (CBP), and SM Estates. The initiative builds on the recently signed partnership among the four organizations to streamline event operations across the SMX Convention Center and the Mall of Asia Complex.
As the official event forwarder for the country’s premier maritime trade exhibition, 2GO hosted an exhibitors’ briefing to help participants prepare for the event and ensure smooth coordination among the key stakeholders responsible for venue operations.
Carrying the theme “Empowering Maritime Excellence: Advancing a Sustainable Blue Economy,” BEACON Expo 2026 is expected to bring together maritime industry leaders, regulatory partners, and suppliers from across the country. Through the enhanced logistics framework, exhibitors can benefit from a more convenient process for transporting exhibit materials, securing permits, and coordinating ingress and egress activities.
“By simplifying logistics and permit facilitation, we allow exhibitors to focus on what matters most: showcasing their products, engaging with customers, and contributing to industry development,” said Faye Alonzo, Business Unit Head of 2GO Forwarding. “Through 2GO-SMX Events Logistics, we are providing a single point of coordination that streamlines processes and supports exhibitors from preparation through event completion.”
The exhibitors’ briefing brought together representatives from the event organizer, Maritime League of the Philippines, exhibitors, contractors, SMX venue managers, media organizations, and 2GO’s logistics teams to align expectations ahead of the expo. The session covered event requirements, booth protocols, logistics procedures, venue operations, and key timelines, helping exhibitors plan more effectively and minimize potential operational delays.
Under the partnership, 2GO facilitates permit applications on behalf of contractors and exhibitors, coordinates endorsements with SM Estates, processes submissions with CBP, and provides end-to-end logistics support covering ingress, event operations, and pull-out activities. This integrated approach reduces administrative workloads while helping ensure compliance with venue and estate requirements.
Beyond streamlining individual processes, the initiative promotes closer collaboration among the stakeholders involved in event execution. By strengthening coordination among exhibitors, contractors, venue operators, and regulatory authorities, the partnership aims to create a smoother, more organized experience for everyone involved.
As preparations continue for BEACON Expo & Conference 2026, the collaboration highlights the role of integrated logistics solutions in elevating industry events and supporting the evolving needs of the Philippine maritime sector.
