This October, there were so many trade conferences held in East Asia. I visited a couple of them, walking across the boundaries, learning and growing to be a more insightful global citizen. The Canton Fair is one of the largest and most influential trade fairs in the world. It is held biannually in Guangdong Province, attracting tens of thousands of exhibitors and buyers from across the globe. The fair serves as a platform for manufacturers and global buyers to engage in business, showcase products/solutions, and explore trade opportunities across the world.The convention center stands along the banks of the Pearl River, Guangdong, providing breathtaking views and easy access. facilitating international trade and providing a platform for businesses to network and develop partnerships. When I walked into the convention hall, the staff there were very friendly, answering my questions and helping me finish the registration process smoothly. But they reminded me that the day I visited was actually the time between two phases, so not all exhibition halls were open at that particular day. But there were still a few large halls opening with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing their artistic products.
The Themes & Phases: I walked through the exhibition halls and chatted with people who presented their merchandise. They all demonstrated a professional attitude, collected my feedback, and provided some suggestions. The Canton Fair is typically divided into three phases, each focusing on different product categories, such as electronics, machinery, textiles, and consumer goods. The key product categories include such as:
-Consumer Electronics: Gadgets, appliances, and electronic components.
