About the Exhibition
Founded in 1999, the China Franchise Expo is organized by the CCFA, whose 1,000+ member enterprises span franchising specialists and domestic and multinational retailers and suppliers. Each year the CCFA publishes a report on China's top 100 franchise chains and helps develop and implement franchising standards. Over two decades of change in the Chinese market, the expo — through professional exhibition work and a precise yet efficient matching of supply and demand — has grown into one of the world's largest franchise exhibitions, with the longest history and the richest local resources. Its total exhibition area has reached up to 140,000 sq m over the year. Highlights include franchise investment lectures.
