The annual report has been compiled by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) since 1995. This year’s report has collected information about 2,068 valid economic and trade exhibition projects, which will take place in about 100 cities across 32 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities as well as the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions of China in 2018 (the deadline for information collection is February 28). Fairs and exhibitions in this book refer to economic and trade exhibitions, excluding other public performances and events in the fields of culture, arts, festivals and talent-building. Project data include the name, time and venue, host & organizer, display content and contact information of the exhibitions. Readers can search information by the host city or by the industry.
Since this year, the book is made available for both the printed version and the electronic version, and open to online real-time searching.
