Opening Remark
After three years’ lockdown with no inbound and outbound traffic, China has been disconnected from the world with its trade shows. In fact, the West hasn’t been doing too well either, and shows have restarted only since June 2022. It will still take a while before everything can be normalized.
This time we have more shows to list for your attention and hopefully that you can follow them and reconnect with the trade shows. The trade shows are always including business conferences that you can maximize your visit there.
US in Green
Hong Kong in Blue
France in Red
UK in Orange
Canada in Dark Green
Italy in Purple
You will find the remaining 6 months of the trade shows and exhibitions with the dates as confirmed. We will still catch up when dates are changed due to the circumstances.
