International
5 / 5
Schedule: Mid-June 2027 · exact dates not yet published. The 2026 edition ran 17–21 June
Why it matters

The world's second-largest book fair — the 2026 edition drew over 1,700 exhibitors from 82 countries. It is a rights and licensing market, not a retail one, which makes it the natural venue for any company whose product is intellectual property rather than physical goods: publishing, education, character licensing, illustration.

Who is in the room

Publishers, rights and licensing buyers, agents, education and library buyers

Good fit for
  • Publishers selling or buying translation rights
  • Education and children's content producers
  • Character, illustration and IP licensors
Note

Rights deals run on a pre-booked meeting schedule agreed weeks ahead. Turning up without appointments achieves very little.

CIFTIS — China International Fair for Trade in Services

International
4 / 5
Schedule: Early-to-mid September 2027 · exact dates not yet published. The 2026 edition ran 9–13 September
Why it matters

The 2027 edition of the services fair. Worth noting a concrete incentive: China's finance ministry, customs and tax administration have confirmed preferential tax treatment on imported exhibits sold during the fair for the 2026–2027 editions, which materially changes the economics of bringing samples and equipment.

Who is in the room

Government bodies, SOEs, corporate buyers of services

Good fit for
  • Consultancies, logistics providers, engineering and design firms
  • Licensing and IP owners
  • Education and training providers
Watch out

Heavily protocol-driven. Value comes from the matchmaking sessions and delegations, not from booth footfall — and applications route through trade bodies well in advance.

Why it matters

The one major Chinese fair organised around services rather than physical goods — professional services, logistics, engineering, education, healthcare services, culture and IP. If you export expertise rather than containers, this is structurally the right room, and the state-level framing gives you access to institutional buyers you cannot reach commercially.
