Impact of China’s reopening on China, the region and the world upon our industry

China is forecast to grow at 5.1% in 2023 and with the market now fully open, industry is looking forward to a strong recovery of the China exhibition market. Chinese pavilions play a prominent role in ASEAN shows as well as international shows. This session will explore how this reopening will impact the Chinese, regional and international markets and what growth we can expect to see. We also explore the pace of re-opening and what trends we are witnessing. The panel will look at the current opportunities within China to grow, launch and export key IP. Will M&A feature in 2023, are there new models emerging, new entrepreneurs making an impact and how does the Chinese exhibitor view opportunities within Asia and beyond?
