Despite the difficulties of this historic period, SFCHINA2020 reports positive results for this year's edition, which featured a hybrid format for the first time.
The 33rd edition of SFCHINA, which took place from December 8 to December 10 at Area A of the China Import and Export Fair Complex (CIEFC) in Guangzhou, P.R. China, closed with reasonable results in a year full of uncertainties, with a total of 4.011 registered visitors, and 164 exhibitors from 13 countries/regions. In addition, there were 33 new exhibitors this year.
To meet the needs of overseas visitors and exhibitors who were unable to attend SFCHINA2020 in person, a virtual edition was launched to allow participants to meet online even after the Guangzhou Ground Show ended. It includes all exhibitors who exhibited in Guangzhou Ground Show and will be online until February 6, 2021, providing an additional option for the industry to stay connected.
