China Green Exhibition Conference Wraps Up in Tianjin with National Standards Briefing and Focus on AI and Modular Construction


The 23rd China-ASEAN Expo opened in grand fashion in Nanning, Guangxi, boasting a vast exhibition footprint. A major highlight is the comprehensively upgraded AI exhibition zone, which has been transformed into a dynamic marketplace for on-the-ground business deals. The event also debuts an "open competition" mechanism to achieve precise demand-supply matchmaking. Furthermore, a year-round AI mega-market has been established to empower enterprises in their global expansion and deepen cooperation in the digital economy.
"Boundless Inquiries" has opened at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum for a six-month run. Showcasing 18 original art installations born from cross-disciplinary collaboration, the exhibition highlights the decoding of AI through an artistic lens. Through immersive interactive experiences, it invites visitors to explore the profound relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence from multiple dimensions.
On the afternoon of September 17, CGECC2026 held sessions on green exhibition construction and industry-education integration at NECC Tianjin, gathering over 100 delegates to share green materials, modular systems and talent cultivation.
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.

Released in Tianjin on September 17, the China Green Exhibition Development Report (2026) examines the industry's low-carbon transition through a new "momentum-driven" lens, defining exhibitions as a "national strategic pioneer industry." Its ten insights highlight rising green awareness, digital decarbonization and modular booth technology, while noting the sector remains in an early "light green" stage with greenwashing risks and bottlenecks in cost, talent and business models, projecting a shift from pilot programs to industry-wide adoption during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
