New venue and dates for SIAL China 2020

Organizers of SIAL China are postponing the three-day event, Asia’s largest food innovation exhibition to September 28th-30th, due to the evolving global COVID-19 situation.

The show was set to be held May 13-15, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Before postponing the event, SIAL China held extensive discussions with exhibitors and partners to seek for the best approach in light of the global spread of COVID-19. Following this, the event is rescheduled to help protect the health and safety of the exhibitors, partners and visitors.

Recent travel restrictions put in place around the world, including a mandatory 14-day quarantine for overseas arrivals from 24 countries in Shanghai , also made it more likely that international travel could be significantly limited in May.

Based on initial inquiries from both international and domestic exhibitors and visitors, the organizer of SIAL China is encouraged by the high level of interest in attending the exhibition in late September. SIAL China 2020 will include many of the signature events include SIAL Innovation, La Cuisine, and Retail and Hospitality Forum, among others. Preparations are underway for these features. Exhibitors are encouraged to submit now for SIAL Innovation, where Top 10 nd Gold, Silver, Bronze winners will be awarded. 

For visitors who have already pre-registered their information, your registrations will remain valid and automatically renewed to the new exhibition dates. A new match-making system will also be made available in July to help facilitate business appointments.
