In light of recent developments concerning the pandemic in Shanghai, Shanghai Intelligent Building Technology (SIBT), Shanghai Smart Home Technology (SSHT), Parking China (PKC) and the Shanghai Smart Office Technology (SSOT) zone will now take place from 26--28 October instead of their original dates. All four concurrent events will continue to be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

    “With the evolving situation, we have decided to hold the fairs at a later date. We believe this is the right decision to ensure the health and safety of all attendees. In the meantime, together with our stakeholders, we are keeping track of developments as they unfold and monitoring the impact on the organisation of large scale events. We would like to thank the industry for their understanding and support, and look forward to welcoming back brands from the building and parking sectors to Shanghai very soon,” Ms Lucia Wong, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd explained on behalf of the fairs’ organisers.
