Legacy and Impact
ABEC began with a diverse range of lifestyle and tech exhibitions like Times AV Revolution, Times Shagun, and Times Glamour. These early successes set the stage for the launch of ACETECH, which soon became India’s leading architecture, building, and design expo in Mumbai and Delhi.
As ACETECH gained momentum, ABEC expanded to Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and diversified into property and education sectors. Key shows included Times Property Expo, Times Education Boutique, and continued editions of Times Glitter and Glamour.
ACETECH became a flagship brand across all four metros, while property and lifestyle expos continued to perform strongly. This phase reinforced ABEC’s leadership in both B2B and B2C event segments.
In response to the pandemic, ABEC adapted with hybrid formats and launched new concepts like ACETECH Signature Mumbai and Ace Reflect in Tier 2 cities. The brand also expanded into the fitness domain with IHFF Delhi, while continuing its legacy events like ACETECH, Property Expo, and regional expansions.
With hundreds of successful events, thousands of exhibitors, and millions of attendees, ABEC continues to shape India’s event landscape through innovation, resilience, and excellence.
