Visitor's Guide to the Furniture Exhibition in Bangalore: BIEC Directions, Timings & What to Bring

If you're planning to attend HIFF — the Hindustan International Furniture Fair — at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre this October, a little planning ahead goes a long way. With 250+ exhibitors and over 15,000 sqm of exhibition space, it's easy to lose a lot of time just navigating the venue if you walk in without a plan. Here's a practical guide to help you make the most of your visit.

Event Dates and Timings

HIFF 2026 runs from 24–26 October 2026 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), with the following daily timings:

24 October: 10:30 AM – 6:00 PM

25 October: 10:30 AM – 6:00 PM

26 October: 10:30 AM – 5:00 PM

Arriving closer to opening time on the first day generally means shorter queues and more time with exhibitors before the halls get busy.

Getting to BIEC

BIEC is located on Tumkur Road, on the outskirts of Bangalore, roughly 25–30 km from the city center depending on where you're coming from. A few practical notes:

By car: Ample on-site parking is generally available, though arriving early on peak days helps avoid delays.

By metro: The Namma Metro's Purple Line has stations that connect reasonably close to Tumkur Road, with onward travel by cab or auto to the venue.

By cab/auto: Most ride-hailing apps recognize BIEC directly as a destination — this is often the simplest option for out-of-town visitors.

If you're traveling from outside Bangalore, it's worth checking traffic patterns on Tumkur Road in advance, as it can get congested during peak hours.

What to Bring

Visitor registration confirmation (printed or on your phone) — most B2B exhibitions like HIFF process entry faster with pre-registration

Business cards — essential for networking and follow-ups with exhibitors

Comfortable footwear — with 15,000+ sqm of exhibition space, you'll be walking considerably more than expected

A notebook or phone for notes — useful for tracking which stalls and products you want to revisit Portable phone charger — a full day of photos, contact exchanges, and navigation can drain your battery faster than usual

Planning Your Walk-Through

With 250+ exhibitors across the venue, it helps to have a rough plan before you arrive:

Check the exhibitor list in advance (if available on the HIFF website) and shortlist categories relevant to you — manufacturing, raw materials, machinery, or finished furniture segments.

Prioritize your first hour for the stalls you're most interested in, before halls get crowded.

Leave room for discovery — some of the most useful contacts at trade shows are unplanned conversations with adjacent exhibitors.

Networking Tips for the Day

Since HIFF is structured as a B2B platform bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, designers, and buyers, it's worth treating your visit as a working day rather than a casual walkthrough — bring enough business cards, note down specifics from conversations (not just names), and follow up within a few days while the conversation is still fresh for the exhibitor too.

Ready for HIFF 2026?

Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning to HIFF, a little planning around timing, transport, and your walk-through route makes the experience far more productive. Register in advance to streamline your entry on the day.
