International Expo China 2001 to Be Held in Beijing
The Second China International Exposition and Conference will be held in Beijing from January 9 to 11 this year at China International Exhibition Center.
This will be the first international Exposition held in China in the New Millennium.
Covering a floor space of over 5,000 square meters, the Expo will mainly display conference and exhibition-related equipment, modern exhibition hall designs as well as exhibition-related services, including transportation, restaurants and tourism, according to the organizer.
The expo is expected to attract more 116 exhibition companies at home and abroad, including those from Germany, US, Italy and Singapore.
A total of 27 seminars will be held during the event, at which time government officials, scholars and entrepreneurs in the sector will discuss topics that include the challenge and opportunity faced by China's exposition industry after the country enters the World Trade Organization, online exhibitions and E-commerce.
Over the past 21 years, China's exhibition industry has witnessed rapid growth. Statistics indicate that in 1999, China hosted 694 international exhibitions at home, compared with six such exhibitions in 1978.
The first Expo was held in Shanghai in January last year, which proved to be a success. The second Expo will be sponsored by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and CCPIT Shanghai. It will be co-organized by the China International Exhibition Center and the Shanghai International Exhibition Center.
