ITMA Asia & CITME 2026

Since 2008, China has hosted a combined show called ITMA ASIA + CITME, held every two years. This landmark event in Shanghai brings together the unique strengths of the ITMA brand and China's most important textile event, CITME.

Dates: 20–24 November 2026. City: Shanghai. Venue: National Exhibition and Convention Center Shanghai (NECC). Dates are set by the organizer and can be revised, so check them against the official source before booking travel.

Sectors: Industrial Engineering, Textiles & Light Industry, Mechanical Engineering. 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 Shanghai: at the stands, in supplier negotiations and on factory visits.

Hotels near the venue sell out months ahead, so start planning well before 20–24 November 2026. Entry requires an M business visa: we handle it end to end in 10-14 days, including the invitation for the fair, without you visiting a consulate.
