Dates: 15–17 July 2026. City: Shanghai. Venue: National Exhibition Construction Center (NECC). Dates are set by the organizer and can be revised, so check them against the official source before booking travel.
Sectors: Fashion & Accessories. 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 15–17 July 2026. Entry requires a visa: we explain the document requirements, and the Chinese consulate decides on issuance.
Related events by sector or city: BLSE 2026 (26–28 June 2026); Gifts & Home Products Expo 2026 (26–28 June 2026); China Stationery Fair 2026 (26–28 June 2026). Several fairs can often be combined into one itinerary when the dates do not overlap.
