The three-day "2023 International Exhibition Industry CEO Shanghai Summit" was held today at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Lujiazui, Pudong.

This morning, the Pudong Special Breakfast Summit was held first, inviting internationally renowned exhibition organizations such as the International Exhibition Industry Association, the International Exhibition and Project Association, the Independent Exhibitors Association, the Singapore Exhibition Organizers and Suppliers Association, the German JWC Consulting Company, and the German Hanover Exhibition Group to participate, providing opinions and suggestions for the future development of the Pudong exhibition industry.

The reporter learned that this summit focuses on hot topics and trends in the international exhibition industry, with a special focus on the development of China's exhibition industry from an international perspective. It has been listed as one of the three high-end international forums supported by the International Exhibition Industry Association. The summit will be guided by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce and the People's Government of Pudong New Area, hosted by the Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Industry Association, with the theme of "New Pattern, New Expectations, and New Growth - The Mission of the Global Convention and Exhibition Industry". It will have three sub topics: Strong Return and the Road to Recovery of China's Convention and Exhibition Industry; Digital empowerment for high-quality development of the industry in the future; Looking back from the past, past experiences and prospects. More than 300 executives from international exhibition groups and institutions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy, industry associations from Southeast Asian countries and regions, as well as leaders of national industry regulatory departments, associations, and exhibition enterprises, will gather at the summit for in-depth exchanges.

Since the beginning of this year, Pudong New Area has released ten work measures to support the high-quality development of the exhibition industry, focusing on attracting brand clusters, strengthening service guarantees, and improving convenient services. This has accelerated the recovery of the exhibition industry and also driven the development of hotels, commerce, catering and other industries in the new area. Among them, Kerry Hotel's operating revenue during the photovoltaic exhibition reached the highest level since the hotel opened; During the China Home Appliance and Consumer Electronics Expo held this year, due to the high demand for hotel rooms from participating companies, the organizers had to extend the distance from the exhibition hall from 5 kilometers in previous years to 10 kilometers when choosing accommodation hotels, which is a testament to the popularity.

The person in charge of Pudong stated that since March, the development of the exhibition industry in Pudong has shown a vigorous trend of accelerating recovery. According to statistics, from January to May 2023, the main venues in Pudong New Area held a total of 56 exhibitions of various types, with a total area of 2.471 million square meters, accounting for 46.4% of the city's total. It attracted 23000 exhibitors and 1.307 million professional visitors, and the exhibition area recovered to 70% of the same period in 2019.

This year, exhibitors and visitors have a particularly strong desire to expand their business and seize orders, which generally reflects good exhibition results, especially in large-scale exhibitions. The scale of large-scale exhibitions has generally recovered or even exceeded that of 2019. For example, the photovoltaic exhibition area in May was 260000 square meters, an increase of 30% compared to 2019; 104000 viewers, an increase of 136.1% compared to 2019; The number of exhibitors is 2749, an increase of 49.7% compared to 2019. In addition, the April Environmental Expo reached a historic high in terms of area, exhibitors, and number of visitors; In April, the China Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo and the International Refrigeration Expo both recovered to pre pandemic levels in terms of area and number of exhibitors. The international refrigeration exhibition's viewing mode exceeded 100000 for the first time, setting a new historical high.

"Next, Pudong will combine the industrial development direction of the new area, introduce professional exhibition projects, strengthen exhibition investment attraction, promote the integrated development of exhibition, investment attraction, and order attraction; promote the linkage development of exhibition, commerce, culture, tourism, and sports, continuously amplify the spillover effect of exhibitions, and promote the development of the exhibition economy," said the relevant person in charge.
