BEXCO (Busan Exhibition & Convention Center)
Centum City’s main exhibition-and-convention complex, split across Exhibition Centers 1 and 2 plus convention and auditorium facilities. It is an event venue rather than a single attraction, so the useful unit for visitors is the exact hall, building and event schedule.

대한민국역사박물관 현대사아카이브 / Wikimedia CommonsSources & further readingBEXCO's two exhibition centers run different events and admissions. During the 31st Busan International Film Festival, the Asian Contents & Film Market holds October 10–13 industry-focused activities associated with Exhibition Center 2; regular film tickets do not automatically grant market access. Next, the distinct 31st Busan Cafe Show occupies Exhibition Center 1 (55 APEC-ro) October 15–18, 2026: Thursday–Saturday 10:00–18:00, Sunday 10:00–17:00. The organizer lists general early-bird registration at KRW 5,000 until October 14, walk-up general admission at KRW 10,000, and free admission for children aged 13 or younger. Reach Center 1 from Centum City Station (Line 2) Exit 1, confirm the actual hall, and allow for separate parking charges. Do not confuse this paid indoor show with the October 17–18 Jeonpo street coffee festival or a differently organized Busan Coffee Show held in May.
Why go
Use BEXCO as the anchor for trade shows, festivals and large indoor events in Centum. Exhibition Center 1 is very close to Centum City Station, while Exhibition Center 2 is a separate building; checking the hall number before you leave the subway avoids unnecessary walking.
