Postponed: China (Shenzhen) Cross Border E-commerce Fair delays its spring edition

1 Mar 2022

To align with the Shenzhen government’s covid-19 control measures, the organisers of the spring edition of China (Shenzhen) Cross Border E-commerce Fair have decided to defer the fair from its original 24 – 26 March dates. The organisers are now working to find an appropriate timeslot for the fair to return.

In light of the ongoing pandemic situation in Shenzhen, the local government announced on 21st February that large-scale events including exhibitions will be prohibited until further notice as part of their virus control measures.

As one of the largest trade fairs serving the e-commerce industry in China, CCBEC Spring attracts participants from across the country. The fair’s organisers believe that postponing the fair is a responsible course of action to comply with the government’s guidelines and to safeguard the wellbeing of all participants. In consultation with key stakeholders, the organising committee are now working to secure new dates for the fair to return, and to deliver the most effective event possible for the industry. The organisers would like to thank all those involved for their support and understanding.

The China (Shenzhen) Cross Border E-commerce Fair is co-organised by the China Chamber of International Commerce, China Merchants Exhibition Management (Shenzhen) Co Ltd, Messe Frankfurt (Shenzhen) Co Ltd, Beijing Talent International Exhibition Co Ltd and Shenzhen OCT Greater Bay Development Co Ltd.
