After receiving the go-ahead to resume large-scale exhibitions and trade shows from March 2023 following the disruption caused by the pandemic, Informa Markets in China and our joint-venture partner Sinoexpo, are among the first to host successful events across key cities \u2013 sparking signs of economic recovery in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margaret Ma Connolly<\/strong>, President \u2013 Asia for Informa Markets, says: \u201cThe enthusiastic return by both buyers and sellers to our show floors is testament to the exceptional job our teams in China have done over the past three years in keeping their brands front of mind and their communities connected. It has been a difficult time \u2013 and I thank every one of our colleagues in China for their continued passion and support. Seeing our events trading again is one thing, but seeing our customers return to do business at them is quite another \u2013 and something that I’m thrilled to witness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
