What are the benefits from this cooperation for exhibitors and visitors?
IFAT CHINA and EPTEE + CWS are two strong trade fairs for environmental technology, one for the Chinese national market and one for international markets. A combined event, called IFAT CHINA + EPTEE + CWS, will offer valuable orientation for the sector in the face of a growing number of environmental events in the Asian region. The industry will therefore have the opportunity of focusing its marketing activities on a single, strong exhibition. Exhibitors and visitors will find a wide range of innovative, application-specific products and services, and meet important representatives from the industry, all in one place, at one time – in a compact, efficient forum.
 
When and where does the next event take place?
The next event takes place under the name of IFAT CHINA + EPTEE + CWS from 5 to 7 May 2010 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. An added bonus for exhibitors and visitors is EXPO 2010, which is taking place in parallel with the fair, opening on 1 May. IFAT CHINA + EPTEE + CWS, with its focus on environmental topics, aligns very well with the motto of EXPO 2010, which is 'Better City, Better Life'.
 
Will there be any changes to the concepts behind IFAT CHINA and EPTEE + CWS as a result of the cooperation?
The concepts of both fairs will be continued under a single roof. Thanks to the strong international position of IFAT CHINA and the strong national profile of EPTEE + CWS, the two trade fairs truly complement each other both in terms of exhibitor and visitor target groups. IFAT CHINA + EPTEE + CWS is therefore responding to the ever growing demand from the Chinese market – both fairs have enjoyed strong expansion in recent years. The IFAT CHINA + EPTEE + CWS cooperation will ensure a strong leadership position in the market.
 
Will the event duration change?
No, IFAT CHINA + EPTEE + CWS will run for three days (Wednesday to Friday).
 
What kind of changes can exhibitors expect as a result of the cooperation between the two fairs?
Exhibitors can expect an increase in trade visitors from China and many other Asian countries. The contact details for exhibitors, visitors and media representatives at the event are specified in the attached list.
 
Will there be a conference program for IFAT CHINA + EPTEE + CWS and what does it look like?
Yes, as a result of the cooperation between the two partners, the conference program will be even further expanded in order to give exhibitors and visitors more added value. As part of its contribution, IFAT CHINA will be bringing its conference program to the cooperation, organized in partnership with the German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste (DWA - Deutsche Vereinigung für Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall e.V.), the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, and other partners.
