The 30th CIPS gets underway

Today, the 30th China International Pet Show (CIPS) opens its doors at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. Running until and including Sunday 15 November, the event is regarded as the key meeting place for the Asian and international pet and aquatics industries.

Across an exhibition area of around 120,000 square metres, more than 1,400 exhibitors will be showcasing their latest products and innovations for dogs, cats, small animals, birds, as well as for the aquarium and terrarium sectors. The organisers are expecting over 70,000 trade visitors from more than 120 countries over the four days of the fair.

The trade fair is accompanied by an extensive supporting programme. This includes specialist conferences such as the CIPS International Pet Industry Conference (CIPIC), seminars on global e-commerce, and international competitions in the fields of aquascaping and dog grooming. The fair is open from Thursday to Saturday from 10.00 to 17.30 each day, and on the final day from 10.00 to 14.00.
