Guangzhou Franchise Expo 2026

The Guangzhou Franchise Expo (GFE) is one of the longest-running franchise exhibitions in China and the world. Held twice a year for the past 21 years, it has earned the support of government departments, the public and the media, and has been recognized by the Chinese government as an outstanding exhibition.

Dates: 14–16 August 2026. City: Guangzhou. Venue: China Import and Export Fair Complex. Dates are set by the organizer and can be revised, so check them against the official source before booking travel.

Sectors: Business & Finance. The organizer publishes the full list of halls and the exhibitor line-up closer to the dates.

Most stands work in Chinese and only some teams speak English. We arrange a Chinese interpreter in Guangzhou: at the stands, in supplier negotiations and on factory visits.

Hotels near the venue sell out months ahead, so start planning well before 14–16 August 2026. Entry requires a visa: we explain the document requirements, and the Chinese consulate decides on issuance.

Related events by sector or city: Quality Lifestyle & Property Expo 2026 (26–28 June 2026); CPVPE 2026 (30 June – 2 July 2026); CIWTE 2026 (30 June – 2 July 2026). Several fairs can often be combined into one itinerary when the dates do not overlap.
