Significant Reform of the Canton Fair - Three Phases in 104th Session
Approved by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, the 104th session of the Canton Fair has adjusted its exhibition period by splitting 2 phases into 3 and will be held from 15 October to 6 November, 2008. Each phase will last 5 days instead of 6 with 2 intervals for 4 days each. Please be noted that all 3 phases will be held in the Pazhou Complex, while Liuhua Complex will no longer be used. The Canton Fair will offer you grand scale and boundless opportunities. Welcome to the Canton Fair!

To make an easier and more comfortable access to the Canton Fair, a new IC card entry badge system is introduced to our exhibitors and buyers for the upcoming 104th Canton Fair. Previously used E-Pass cards will be replaced by the new IC cards which will be available on site or mailed in advance by the Canton Fair.
