The 2026 edition's program was structured around commercial exhibition routes, where partner stores and galleries opened their doors with specific displays to showcase furniture, lighting systems, wall coverings, and construction finishes.
Local architects and designers gave presentations on optimizing workspaces, using new industrial materials, and integrating home automation technologies. There were also dedicated spaces showcasing furniture and utilitarian objects made by designers based in Venezuela, facilitating direct contact between creators and buyers.
The event has well-defined commercial and professional development objectives, such as generating direct sales in participating businesses during the days of the circuit and fostering direct connections between construction material suppliers, architecture firms, and end clients.
