Description

Join us at the California Pavilion for the fourth annual China International Import Exposition (CIIE) in Shanghai from November 5-10, 2021! 

Over the last four years since the inaugural expo in 2018, CIIE has become the premier opportunity for bringing nation-wide market and government attention to international products and services. CIIE attracts importers from every province in China and across every industry to the National Exhibition and Convention Center for a week-long trade show.

As the only organizer to unite and present California brands, the Bay Area Council is excited to provide both virtual and in-person opportunities to attend the CIIE.

The California Pavilion will provide custom exhibition space along with virtual attendance options so exhibitors can talk to prospective clients via video conference while they interact with the products in-person. We are further able to assign exhibition support staff to each exhibitor to make sure there is always someone there to field questions and demonstrate products.
