SHANGHAI -- Nepcon China will relocate to the Shanghai World Expo Venue in 2011, the show producer announced today.

The WEV offers state-of-the-art infrastructure, meeting facilities, accessibility and hotel support, Reed Exhibitions asserted in a press release. The current site, the Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center, has been criticized for its electrical and dimensional liabilities and a lack of nearby hotels.

The show remains one of the largest for electronics manufacturing in the world, with an estimated 16,000 attendees.
