"By providing buyers with sourcing information in our monthly magazines and on Global Sources Online throughout the year, the China Sourcing Fairs play the unique role of helping buyers and suppliers meet face-to-face for negotiations and ordering".
China's leading up-and-coming manufacturers to exhibit at the Fair Major exhibits include consumer electronics, computers and networking products; electronic components; security and safety products and telecomms products.
Among the hundreds of companies confirmed to exhibit are some of Greater China's leading suppliers, including Scud Electronics, Xing Da Printed Circuit Board and Guangdong Surpass Electronics, plus up-and-coming companies with substantial export experience.
Vendor summits, unique to China Sourcing Fairs, allow buyers to introduce their companies and outline their sourcing requirements to groups of preselected exhibitors.
This saves both parties time and money.
Vendor summits will be held by companies including Brookstone, Samsung, Mueller Electric and members of the WorldWide Retail Exchange (WWRE), an organisation which represents many of the world's largest retailers with combined annual sales of US $900 billion.
Conferences at the fair will help companies understand and overcome the challenges of sourcing and exporting in the dynamic China market.
Speakers from HSBC China, SGS, Texas Instruments, TNT and Philips Semiconductors will discuss China banking, logistics, patent protection, as well as other topics such as digital convergence and power management.
Product Sourcing Forums, to be held during the fair, aim to give buyers insight into China supplier capabilities for mobile phones, MP3 players and high-brightness LEDs.
The forums are based on Global Sources' best-selling series of China Sourcing Reports.
Global Sources produces the China Sourcing Reports from extensive on-site factory visits, interviews and surveys with large, medium and up-and-coming suppliers throughout mainland China and Taiwan.
