Lalexpo Cali 2026 took place from 27 to 29 April, bringing together over 5,500 attendees, more than 120 companies, and participants from 30+ countries, confirming its position as one of the main industry gatherings in Latin America.

Familiar names were present throughout the week. Yeferson Cossio moved across the event over several days, connecting with brands and drawing attention, while Johnny Sins made appearances that quickly became crowd highlights. Creators like Gattouzo and other industry personalities added presence across the venue. ShootXEvents documented the full experience.

Beyond the Booths: Where Deals Actually Move

The expo floor delivered a constant flow of meetings, activations, and business conversations. But much of the real networking happened outside the stands. The Paxum Welcome Cocktail set the tone early in the week, while the STRIPCHAT BBQ became a key point for longer conversations, where connections felt more natural, and deals often started taking shape.

Parties, Performances, and Night Energy

The parties all over the event pushed Lalexpo far beyond the daytime schedule, each with its own atmosphere and crowd. The Jasmin party opened with a live performance by the rapper Darell, turning the night into a mix of music, dancing, and packed energy on the floor. The BongaCams party followed with the rapper Cosculluela on stage, bringing an international crowd and keeping the momentum high with a strong live set and constant movement throughout the venue. The Neon Party brought a more immersive production, where lights, sound, and staging created a final peak moment on the dance floor.

Lalexpo Awards & Closing Moments

The Lalexpo Awards brought a more structured highlight to the week, recognizing standout performers, creators, and companies with official prizes and on-stage presentations. Between speeches, announcements, and live acts, the ceremony balanced recognition with entertainment, putting the industry side of the event into focus before closing the week’s program of meetings, parties, and performances.

The ceremony served as a moment of remembrance for Juan Carlos, founder of Lalexpo, who sadly passed away last year, with his legacy still present throughout this meaningful celebration.

Lalexpo Cali 2026 ultimately confirmed its formula: real business during the day, strong production and performances at night, and a constant flow of international networking that keeps the event positioned as a key meeting point for the industry in Latin America.
