Shenzhen World, the largest trade fair venue globally, has successfully hosted the Shenzhen International Furniture Exhibition, which took place from August 20 until 23. With the gradual reopening of the exhibition business in China by the central Government many venues have restarted operations. To date, however, most shows have seen significant reductions in size and attendance.
In accordance with local health regulations, Shenzhen World together with the
organizer of the Shenzhen International Furniture Exhibition implemented strict
safety protocols. For attendees, social distance keeping and the wearing of
face-covering masks throughout the entire venue were mandatory. Additionally,
all attendees were obliged to be in possession of their respective green travel
passes (mobile). A further combination of health measures, such as body
temperature scanners, sanitization stations and regular cleaning enabled the
show to go forward in a safe environment.
The event’s overwhelming success can, amongst
other factors, also be attributed to the new product segments which were
introduced this year, such as "Challenging Impossibility" by Japanese
residence master Sadao Tsuchiya, or “WorkBox: Foreseeing the future 2025”. In
addition, a number of world leading brands, like Gensler, Vitra, Haworth or Vita
Home took part in the show.
As a result, Shenzhen International Furniture Exhibition,
in its first edition in Shenzhen World, advanced to the largest furniture show
globally. Exhibitor numbers increased by 75% compared to the previous edition
of the show, whilst visitor numbers increased by nearly 40% to 216.000. With
320.000 gross m² and more than 140.000 net rented m² the size of the show
nearly tripled.
Oliver Hou, executive chairman of the Shenzhen
Furniture Association, the organizer of Shenzhen International Furniture Exhibition,
expressed that he was extremely pleased with the outcome of the show. “In the
current circumstances we did not expect such an overwhelming success, but buyer
interest was very high and thus the show succeeded much better than expected.
For the next edition of the show in 2021 we expect that the show will use
400.000m², the entire space of Shenzhen World.”
Mr. Yun Ma, president and CEO of Shenzhen
World, said: “Hosting such a big show was a challenge for us but also very rewarding.
Shenzhen World, with its ample hall space, its large boulevards, its grand
meeting rooms and vast F&B areas is the only venue globally which can host
such shows and we are proud that the entire event took place smoothly and so
successfully”.
Gerd Weber, partner at jwc, said: “It is
clear that when we at jwc developed the Master Plan for Shenzhen World, we did
not foresee the extent of a Covid-19 situation. But of course, seeing today
that Shenzhen World was capable to host an event of this size in the current
circumstances, gives us great satisfaction and confirms our venue development
philosophy”.
