Kalutara, Sri Lanka – Education Expo Kalutara 2026, the first large-scale education, skills and career pathways exhibition to be hosted in Kalutara District, has officially opened sponsorship, partnership and exhibitor registrations ahead of its inaugural edition scheduled for 19th and 20th September 2026 at Saffron Beach Hotel, Wadduwa.
The event is expected to attract between 9,000 and 12,000 visitors across two days, bringing together students, parents, teachers, universities, professional qualification providers, vocational training institutes, EdTech companies, financial institutions and youth-focused brands on a single platform.
Organised by Events By Oneiro, the exhibition has been designed to address a longstanding gap in the education event landscape. While most major education exhibitions are concentrated in Colombo, thousands of students and families from Kalutara District often miss opportunities due to travel costs, distance and accessibility challenges.
“Education Expo Kalutara is not just another exhibition. It is a district-level platform designed to connect education providers, employers, brands and students in a way that creates long-term value for all stakeholders,” said the organisers.
Unlike traditional education fairs that focus primarily on degree programmes, the event will showcase a wider range of future pathways including professional qualifications, vocational education, NVQ and TVEC programmes, IT and AI training, language qualifications, study abroad opportunities, scholarships, student finance, career counselling and job-ready skills development.
For sponsors and exhibitors, the event presents a unique first-mover advantage in one of Sri Lanka’s largest and fastest-growing youth markets. Kalutara District is home to more than 1.2 million people and includes key population centres such as Kalutara, Panadura, Horana, Beruwala, Matugama, Bandaragama and Aluthgama.
Organisers have also announced an extensive promotional campaign leading up to the event, including outdoor advertising, school and tuition outreach programmes, social media campaigns, digital promotions, media partnerships, public relations activities, WhatsApp and SMS awareness campaigns, and community-level engagement initiatives.
A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are currently available, including Title Sponsor, Platinum Sponsor and Gold Sponsor categories. Founding sponsors will receive long-term recognition as organisations that supported the launch of the district’s first dedicated education and career pathways platform.
Education institutions, professional bodies, training providers, banks, technology companies, publishers, insurance providers, career guidance organisations and youth-focused brands are invited to explore participation opportunities.
With strong interest already being shown by education providers and corporate organisations, early confirmations are encouraged as premium sponsorship categories and preferred exhibition locations are expected to be allocated on a first-confirmed basis.
Organisations interested in sponsorship, partnership or exhibition opportunities may contact the organising committee for further information.
