China Green Exhibition Development Report (2026) Released in Tianjin, Defining Exhibitions as a National Strategic Pioneer Industry


On September 17, the China Green Exhibition Service Platform, developed by ICEEC together with multiple industry institutions, was officially launched at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Tianjin). As a comprehensive public-interest platform, it integrates six functions—policy access, standards study, carbon accounting tools, case references, a materials library and resource matching—to tackle three pain points: difficult standards inquiry, missing tools and methods, and weak resource matching, helping the industry go green through a one-stop service.
On September 17, the inaugural China Green Exhibition & Convention Conference (CGECC2026) was held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Tianjin), gathering hundreds of guests from government, associations, organizers, venues and service providers. The China Green Exhibition Service Platform was officially launched and the China Green Exhibition Development Report (2026) was released, alongside keynotes and a panel on carbon neutrality policy, green exhibition trends, cost-effectiveness and implementation pathways.
The 2026 China Green Exhibition Conference concluded in Tianjin on September 18 with sessions on standards and digital empowerment. Three national standards—covering green booth evaluation, green exhibition operations and venue safety—were briefed, with hard targets including 100% recoverable main structures and at least 70% reusable equipment. Experts outlined trends toward systematic standards, modular construction and AI-driven redesign, while companies showcased AI design workflows cutting delivery from days to minutes and modular builds lowering costs by over 30%.
