Guangdong province released an implementation plan to upgrade services and
develop Guangzhou and Shenzhen into international convention and exhibition
cities. The plan targets expansion of flagship fairs (Canton Fair, China Hi‑Tech
Fair, China International Cultural Industries Fair, China Airshow), creation of
national‑benchmark shows in furniture, ceramics and apparel, and incubation of
expos for AI, robotics and low‑altitude economy. It directs scaling exhibition
firms and attracting domestic and foreign exhibition HQs, professional
organizers, booth builders and event‑services companies, supports outbound
exhibitions, and aims to land high‑end meetings (industry summits, academic
forums, corporate annual conferences) while developing supporting services such
as event planning, business reception, shorthand, simultaneous interpretation
and smart audiovisual providers.
