SHENZHEN – The organizers of Nepcon/EMT South China trade show reported a record 25,912 attendees for its 14th annual show held earlier this month.

The show “exceeded my expectation in terms of visitor numbers. Although the market is not so strong this summer, [it] still attracted so many visitors. This is very impressive,” said Erik van de Ven, senior director of business support and marketing for Asia Pacific at Assembléon, in a press release.

Next year’s show takes place Aug. 31-Sept. 2 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre. The show is sponsored by Reed Exhibitions.
