130th Canton Fair Information Session

Sep 30, 2021CCBC Past Events

Established in 1957, the Canton Fair is held every spring and autumn in Guangzhou, China, and connects over 26,000 exhibitors to more than 200,000 buyers from 210 countries each session. The long-running Fair was established to assist companies in the international market to enhance their China strategy by importing to and/or exporting from China, and boasts the largest buyer attendance, the broadest distribution of buyers’ source country, and the greatest business turnover in China.

 

In the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic and severely battered global trade, the Canton Fair has moved online.

 

CCBC guests and members were invited to attend an information session on September 30, 2021, about the 130th Canton Fair to learn from past Fair attendees, buyers, suppliers and personnel how to best attend and use your access to the Fair and connect with countless business opportunities.
