Spring 2026 China Exhibition Tour: 22 Trade Shows Visited Across Shenzhen, Guangzhou & Hong Kong
Across late 2025 and the first half of 2026, our team was on the ground at 22 major trade shows across Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hong Kong — physically walking the halls, meeting exhibitors face-to-face, and collecting business cards one booth at a time. Below is the full recap, organised by industry, with photos from every show and direct links to the datasets you can buy today.
Why physical attendance matters: every contact in our datasets comes from a card we actually held in our hand. No scraped websites, no resold lists. When you see "verified exhibitor contacts" on our product pages, this is what stands behind it.
