Expos & Trade Shows in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar

Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar share a busy exhibition calendar, and most trade shows use one of four venues. Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar's Sector 13, a 34-acre convention centre whose main hall seats 6,000, hosts the state's biennial global investment summit along with national conferences and government events. The Helipad Exhibition Centre in Sector 17 takes the large-format industrial and technology fairs, including the trade show that accompanies the summit. Inside Ahmedabad, the Gujarat University Convention and Exhibition Centre on the 132 Feet Ring Road is the main address for education, property, jewellery, food, textile and machinery exhibitions, with the GMDC Ground and the Sabarmati Riverfront event grounds used for bigger consumer fairs. Smaller shows go to club lawns and hotel ballrooms along SG Highway. The mix reflects Gujarat's economy: engineering and machine tools, plastics and chemicals, pharma, textiles, ceramics, gems and jewellery, agriculture and dairy technology, and a growing calendar of startup and fintech events around GIFT City. Since January 2026 the metro's Yellow Line has run from Motera to Mahatma Mandir, which makes Gandhinagar's venues reachable from Ahmedabad without a car.
