The next edition of VIV China, in 2018, will be held in Nanjing, capital city of China’s Jiangsu province. The new venue comes with a new concept for VIV China, with more activities and with a clearer focus on the different target groups per day.

The dates scheduled are 17-19 September, 2018, with the venue being the Nanjing International Expo Centre (NIEC).

“We have decided that it is time for something new, an exploration of the fresh opportunities and activities offered by a change of location,” said VIV China show manager Anneke van Rooijen. “Jiangsu province is in easy reach from important production areas from north and south China and the economic importance of Nanjing is increasing.”

Extending sales networks

Van Rooijen continued to say, “The move will allow our exhibitors to extend their sales networks and contacts to other parts of China. No less important for us, Nanjing offers good facilities for exhibitors and visitors. Nanjing has an international airport and can also be reached by train, road or plane for people from inside China. Its exhibition ground is high-quality and enjoys and excellent transportation link to the city centre by subway.”

She concluded, “So we see this as a really positive move that allows VIV worldwide to expand its VIV China visitor target groups more deeply into the provinces of China, to the benefit of everyone involved.”
