The 15th China International Pet Show (CIPS’11) will be held on 16-19 November in halls 9.2-13.2 of the Pazhou Complex in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. The fair dates have thus been put back slightly from the original slot of 14 to 17 November. The total display area will be over 50 000 m² which once again breaks the record for the show. As the most influential pet and aquarium product show in Asia, CIPS wants to retain the concepts of displaying the latest products and technologies, guiding the market and advancing development to build an excellent exchange platform for domestic and foreign enterprises in the industry. Huge response The China Great Wall International Exhibition Co. Ltd. aims to improve the quality of service constantly to lay a good foundation for the success of the event. The organisers officially began to sell booths back in early March and they say that hundreds of enterprises have already confirmed their booths. At the same time, hundreds of professional visitors have registered online, even though the organisers stress that there are some months left before the show. Nine hotels with preferential rates around the Pazhou Exhibition Center will be specially recommended by the CIPS organisers. During the show period, hotels will offer a free shuttle bus service for visitors, which will facilitate travel from their accommodation. Anyone intending to visit the fair can complete the Buyer Registration Form on the web page at www.cipscom.com/en/cgsq.asp and will then shortly receive an invitation from the fair organisers entitling them to free admission to the show. www.cipscom.com Download: CIPS on the verge of a new road (PDF file)
