Concurrent Forum of the 4th Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industry Exhibition
The 4th Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industry Exhibition will be held from November 18 to 21, 2021 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). The exhibition is organized by the Publicity Departments of the Party Committees of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, and co-organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Shanghai Sub-Council. The exhibition area reaches 54,000 square meters, with over 1,000 participating enterprises.

This year, for the first time, an exhibition-within-an-exhibition has been established in the Culture and Technology section—the Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Technology and Equipment Exhibition is located in Hall 8.2, with an exhibition area of 10,000 square meters. This exhibition area revolves around the theme of “Technology Igniting New Momentum for Culture,” building an ecosystem centered on “Grand Cultural Tourism,” comprehensively showcasing the level of technical equipment in the cultural field as well as the application and promotion of science and technology in the cultural sector.
Meanwhile, this exhibition is guided by the cultural consumption market, focusing on the high-quality development of cultural tourism and themed entertainment, and selects four highly potential cultural markets—museums, theaters and playhouses, theme parks, and the night-time economy—to establish thematic forums.
The Forum will invite relevant industry departments and experts to interpret industry policies and hot topics, helping cultural equipment enterprises gain insight into industry development trends and grasp industry development needs. It gathers industry elites to share cutting-edge technologies and applications, broadening the horizon of enterprise technological innovation.
