About Borneo International Consumer Expo
BICE is a consumer trade fair that puts businesses directly in front of shoppers. The organiser says it brings local and international exhibitors together, from technology to traditional handicrafts, to connect with customers and explore new markets.
The format is a consumer show with a retail feel. Past editions have included cultural performances, a kids' play zone, a kids' colouring contest, a lucky draw and the Borneo Star Talent competition. Food and beverage stalls have been part of the programme.
The expo has also moved between cities. BICE 2.0 was held at SICC in Kota Kinabalu on 10–12 October 2025. The 2026 edition ran for four days at the MetroCity Convention Centre in Kuching and drew more than 250 vendors from Sarawak, Sabah, Brunei and Indonesia. The 2027 edition returns to Kota Kinabalu.
Who Should Attend Borneo International Consumer Expo 2027?
- General public and local families. Admission has been free for visitors, though some workshops or events may need separate registration.
- Shoppers looking for deals and lifestyle products. Fashion, beauty, home living, gadgets, and wellness are among the categories exhibitors register under.
- Regional tourists and cross-border visitors. Past exhibitors have come from Sarawak, Sabah, Peninsular Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia.
- Retail and hospitality businesses scouting brands. Directories list a trade audience alongside the public.
What Exhibitors Can Expect at Borneo International Consumer Expo
BICE is a selling show, so stands are judged on footfall and conversion. The exhibitor form lists the stated goals as product exposure, brand awareness, direct sales, networking, market testing, recruitment and franchise promotion. That shapes what a booth needs to do.
- Direct sales. Plan for a point-of-sale counter, stock storage, and a queue that does not block the aisle.
- Food and beverage. Plan sampling zones, food-safe surfaces and clear serving flow.
- Technology and gadgets. Plan demo stations, screens, power points and cable management.
- Fashion and beauty. Plan fitting or try-on space and strong lighting for product presentation.
- Family crowds. Wide, open fronts and low-height displays suit visitors with children.
The registration form asks exhibitors for a "preferred booth shell name," which suggests the organiser supplies standard shell booths. Ask whether custom-built stands are permitted and what the size and height limits are.

Exhibiting at Borneo International Consumer Expo 2027?
A crowded consumer show is hard to stand out in. A stand has to support product presentation, visitor flow, selling, and installation within the organiser's rules, and it has to read clearly from a distance in a busy hall.
Booth Creators, in business since 2012, designs and builds custom stands for exhibitors entering the Bornean market. We handle design through on-site installation.
