China Import and Export Fair Informational Session
On Friday, June 3 in Toronto, join CCBC for an informational session to introduce Canadian companies to the China Import and Export Fair, October 15 - November 4 in Guangzhou, China. Widely known as the "Canton Fair," this biannual event has won the reputation as China's largest and most important exhibition.

Now facilitating imports, the Canton Fair provides a channel to reach China's growing consumer market; as China reworks its economical model to promote domestic consumption, the appetite for foreign, industrial, and consumer products is increasing rapidly.
The Fair attracts over 20,000 professionals from around the world, including more than 150 of the world's top 250 retailers. Held at the China Import and Export Complex - the largest exhibition space in Asia, the event boasts over 58,000 exhibition stands that showcase over 150,000 products from sectors that include light industry, textile and garments, and high-tech products. A state-level exhibition, the Canton Fair is co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce, the Government of Guangdong Province, and is organized by the China Foreign Trade Centre (CFTC).
On June 3 at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, come and hear from Mr. REN Xiangdong, the Canton Fair's Deputy Director General about attending or exhibiting at the Fair. A keynote address will be followed by a question period, networking, and lunch. Representatives from the Chinese Embassy and from the Canadian government will also be in attendance.
There is no charge to attend. To RSVP for this event, please register online or send your completed registration form by email to events@ccbc.com or by fax to 416-954-3806.
