CHIC announces new date and new location
The event initially scheduled for March, and which should take place as normally in Shanghai, will now take place in Shenzhen in July
Due to the global Covid-19 epidemic, Chinese-based fashion and lifestyle fair Chic Shanghai could not be held as planned in March in Shanghai.
Although the situation starts to calm down in China, the organisers of the event believe that the ongoing worldwide epidemic situation does not allow China's control and prevention measures to be relaxed, and as such it won't possible to have a catch-up date of the spring event of Chich before the autumn event in September in Shanghai due to logistical reasons.
"For our exhibitors and visitors, the industry and trade, the contact with the market is essential. It is important to start business again as soon as possible and to find the way back to normal. By exceptionally holding the spring event of CHIC Shanghai in Shenzhen in July, CHIC as a longstanding partner of the industry wants to provide it with the necessary platform to do so", commented Chen Dapeng, President of CHIC and China National Garment Association.
The regular Chic autumn event in Shanghai is scheduled to take place from the 23rd to the 25th of September 2020.
