CHINA – After the announcement by the regional Chinese government that all exhibition events in Guangzhou should be suspended from 11th March, the organisers of the CIFF Guangzhou and CIFM/interzum guangzhou have postponed the events to an as-yet unspecified date.

The fairs were originally scheduled to take place in two phases, from 18th-21st and 28th-31st March. New dates will be notified in due course.

China’s health authorities are fighting a rising wave of Covid-19 infections across the country.

Having concluded on 31 March 2021 after a total of 8 days (4 for the first phase and 4 for the second), the 47th CIFF Guangzhou occupied 750,000 square metres of exhibition space, divided among almost 4,000 exhibitors, and attracted 357,809 qualified trade visitors.

CIFF (China International Furniture Fair) is the world’s largest furniture exhibition.

It is held twice a year: in March (2 phases) in Guangzhou, and in September in Shanghai.

Founded in 1998, CIFF has been successfully held for 47 sessions and creates the world’s most preferred one-stop trading platform for product launch, domestic sales and export trade in the furnishing industry.
