The China Electronics Fair debuted in 1964 and today is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of electronics and information industry in China. This huge fair/convention/exposition to be held in August will have a total exhibition area of 150,000 square meters or more. This expo serves applied fields including 3C, automobile, power supply and defense industry, etc. This is the event that will help you and your company tap into the world's fastest growing electronics market. This year the Fair will be held Aug. 16-18.

An event as large as CEF has to occur in more than one place or the earth would spin off it's axis. The spring event is held in Shenzhen, the summer event in Chengdu, and the fall electronics event in Shanghai.

Chengdu, the capital of Sichauan province in Southwest China, is one of the most important economic, communication and transportation centers in Western China. Recently named one of China's most livable cities, is proud to be host of this years' summer CEF event. This event will feel at home in Chengdu, which is a center for Asian production and manufacture of electronic IS products, pharmaceuticals, food processing, automobile and aerospace machinery, petrochemical, metallurgical and builiding materials. Electronic components manufactured in the region include flat panel displays, test and measurement equipment, and defense equipment. Research and development activity centers in Chengdu are thriving. This has attracted over 200 Fortune 500 companies to set up branches in Chengdu, making it first in terms of the number of such companies in Central and Western China.
