Where we work
Canton Fair work is based around Guangzhou, with follow-up routes commonly extending to Foshan, Shenzhen, Dongguan and other manufacturing areas depending on the suppliers and products involved.
Typical timeline
Start early because venue-adjacent accommodation, interpreter schedules and factory appointments become constrained around major show periods. Official phase dates and registration requirements must be checked before final planning.
What affects the cost
- Number of fair days, participants and interpreters.
- Supplier meetings, factory visits and city-route complexity.
- Transport, accommodation-area and schedule support.
- Reporting, lead-management and follow-up scope.
- Peak-season timing and late changes.
What you receive
- A show objective and supplier target list.
- A daily route and meeting plan.
- Interpretation and local coordination where included.
- Lead, quotation and question capture.
- A prioritized post-show and factory-visit action plan.
Evidence and local experience
Trade-show value depends on turning conversations into comparable supplier data. We do not claim official affiliation with the event and publish only authorized visit or project evidence.
Risks to resolve before you commit
- Walking the halls without a target list or comparison method.
- Collecting catalogues without recording price basis, MOQ or supplier identity.
- Booking factory visits before confirming the actual location and schedule.
- Underestimating venue and Guangzhou travel time.
- Returning home before warm supplier follow-up is completed.
