Returning to Shanghai, the 2018 event will feature 7,000 exhibiting companies from more than 30 countries.
With more than 350,000m² of exhibition space and hosting 100 conferences, the show will present tens of thousands of products and services to 210,000 professional visitors.
During tHIS 2017, Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions posted a record of more than 210,000 visitors over the four days. To prepare for the large concentration of visitors, The City of Shanghai initiated a municipal-level security mechanism and increased the frequency of the subway to divert large crowds and dense traffic to the venue.
