China Stone Event Goes Online in June
XIAMEN, China – The world’s largest hard-surfaces event – the China Xiamen International Stone Fair — will get an online counterpart, beginning next month.
Cloud Xiamen Stone Fair will debut on June 6 as a B2B-oriented online platform, while preparations continue for the real-world event in late October.
“During the past 20 years, Xiamen Stone Fair has been committed to serving as a platform for the stone industry in communication and presentation,” noted a statement from the event’s organizers in Xiamen. “In order to minimize impacts caused by the pandemic, the online platform – Cloud Xiamen Stone Fair will be launched to connect exhibitors and visitors beyond time and space.”
The online event will consist mainly of two sections: Online Exploring and Featured Events, with 24/7 product display, new product releases and information exchange to enable negotiations and networking. Industry experts — from famous architects, designers to experienced company owners and manufacturers — will also share their ideas online with respect to current topics.
More than 2,000 manufacturers from 57 countries/regions are slated to participate in the online event. Currently, the digital exhibit space is available only to exhibitors set for the physical show now scheduled for Oct. 27-30 at the Xiamen International Conference and Exhibition Center.
The online event will run throughout the year and looks to be a regular event going into next year.
“In the future, Cloud Xiamen Stone Fair will sure to be a complementary counterpart for the physical trade fair and better serve the industry,” according to show organizers.
