What should I pay attention to when attending Dubai Expo for the first time?

There are several links in going abroad to participate in the exhibition, please be sure to confirm. Exhibition, booth, itinerary, exhibits logistics, exhibition.

Let's explain and confirm one by one.

exhibit

Please determine the exhibition you want to attend according to your own exhibits, that is, your goods. Foreign exhibitions have developed for more than 150 years, and the basic exhibitions are clearly subdivided. If you are looking for an industry exhibition of your goods, look for the upstream and downstream, then you must go to a well-known exhibition in your industry. Such an exhibition, even if a ticket is not signed in, is very beneficial to understand foreign markets and clarify the company's development direction.

Exhibition unit

When buying a booth, please be sure to ask the agent you are looking for for for the booth map of the exhibition hall. If there is no current site map, then the previous one will do. Actually, it's about the same, and it won't change much.

Because it involves visas and logistics, you'd better complete the booth purchase three months in advance, otherwise there will be no time to maneuver if something goes wrong.

Schedule

The itinerary includes visa, air ticket and hotel. Generally, foreign exhibitions can only be arranged on the day before they are held, and they can't get in long ago. When you go to the exhibition, you naturally have an invitation letter, which can save the ticket money. If it's just an exhibition, you can go in with tourist signs and on-site tickets. If it is an exhibition, you must have an invitation letter when you buy a booth.

Moreover, the invitation letter sent by the exhibition company is the easiest for business visa, because foreign exhibition companies are super scary. The top five exhibition companies, each with hundreds of exhibitions around the world, cover all industries and are completely business empires.

Please be careful, don't believe those fudges on Ctrip visa and forge personal information. Once you are recalled, you are finished. Not worth it! If a business visa is rejected, once or twice, it may not be allowed for a lifetime. Please be careful.

Then there are air tickets and hotels, which should be determined several months in advance. Otherwise, when some super-large projects are launched, there will be no hotels in the whole city. A friend once said that if you book a French exhibition, the exhibition will be done. There is no hotel. Finally, I lived in Belgium and went back and forth every day.

If you want to visit customers or travel after the exhibition, you'd better make your itinerary in advance and change it on the spot. The agency will not approve it. If something goes wrong, they simply ignore you, and all the consequences are at their own risk.

logistics

Is the exhibits logistics, your exhibits and promotional materials, you can take with you, it is best to take with you. Otherwise, we can only find exhibition logistics companies or logistics companies with exhibition logistics business. Even if it arrives in advance, it can only be put into storage and delivered to the booth the day before the press conference. Please find a reliable company, don't just look at the price. There is a friend whose boat broke down three times in the sea. When he finally found out, it was too late. There is nothing in the booth, and hundreds of thousands of people throw it out. Basically, a few people can only travel at public expense.

exhibit

It's not too complicated Just recite it yourself, really. Do it well in China, the quality is better, and it can be used many times. If you want to show your clothes abroad, the price will directly make you brain-dead. You can't imagine how expensive foreign labor is, and how procrastinating those foreigners are in doing things, so they can't communicate.

If you want special clothes, you will be in trouble, or you will have money to find foreign ones. Either you do it well in China, logistics in the past, and logistics in the past with your exhibits. Bring your own set of tools, or buy a set of tools in the supermarket and do it yourself. Actually, it's not as difficult as you think. It's just a building block. Of course, if the hands-on ability is poor and no one in the team can understand the renderings and installation drawings of special equipment, you'd better stop and spend money honestly.

In addition, there are some tips for overseas exhibitions. For example, put a little candy to attract guests. You know, the more crowded the booth, the more interested everyone is. Try to exchange business cards and information with all exhibitors before the release. The exhibition is very busy and there are many things to pay attention to. At the end of the exhibition, everyone is busy collecting and exchanging stalls. Maybe everyone has left. Prepare a small gift for foreigners who come to your counter to ask questions. It doesn't need to be expensive and distinctive, plus your promotional materials.
