The Shanghai Scene--20~(th) China Glass to be Held in Shanghai

摘要

The 20~(th) China International Glass Industrial Technical Exhibition-better known as China Glass 2009-will be back in Shanghai at the New International Expo Centre there, May 13-16. Since 1986, the annual event organized by the Chinese Ceramic Society and co-organized this year by the Shanghai Ceramic Society, has hosted international audiences as a platform for trade talks and technical exchanges. Each year the show draws an increasingly international crowd. The 2008 event, held in Beijing (the event alternates between the two cities), hosted 738 exhibitors, including 248 foreign companies that arrived from 21 countries. More than 30,000 attendees- from 89 countries-flocked to the hall. The show organizers are quick to point out that more than 80 percent of the visitors last year were managerial level or above. This year's trade show is expected to welcome similar numbers.
