“This year’s G Fair was built on the momentum of past years by creating an ecosystem that empowers entrepreneurs with tools, knowledge, and networks to thrive. It’s a space to celebrate homegrown talent while equipping them to succeed in the digital economy.” ~KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business
As part of Globe's tenth year of 917 GDay celebrations, Globe Business hosted G Fair 2025, a two-day event that celebrated Filipino craftsmanship and bolstered its support for local business owners. The expo, which took place at the BGC Amphitheater in Taguig from September 19 to 20, drew thousands of visitors and offered a lively environment where business and education coexisted.
Now in its third year, G Fair has grown beyond a pop-up show to become a full-fledged program. This year's event was enhanced with a focus on empowering businesses for the future, in addition to providing helpful tools for digital transformation and sustainable growth through a dedicated SME Consultation Booth and several upskilling presentations and learning sessions.

The event featured amazing performances by up-and-coming artists FINIX and SYNC, and concluded with exciting raffle prizes from Philippine Airlines, GCash, and Lazada.
