About China International Exhibition Center Group Corporation (CIEC)

Geographic reach: China, Asia-Pacific, Global

China International Exhibition Center Group Corporation (CIEC) is one of China’s longest-established state-owned exhibition organizers and venue operators, headquartered in Beijing. Originating from the China International Exhibition Center built in the 1980s to support China’s opening-up and foreign trade promotion, CIEC has evolved into a full-service exhibition group combining venue management, event organization, and exhibition services.

From its bases at the original Jing’anzhuang venue in central Beijing and the large-scale Shunyi Hall complex near Beijing Capital International Airport, CIEC provides modern infrastructure for domestic and international trade fairs. CIEC operates and manages the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall), which offers 16 single-story, column‑free halls with flexible configurations for large industrial and consumer shows.

It also integrates offices, catering, and conference facilities within the exhibition center to support organizers and exhibitors on site. Beyond venue rental, CIEC delivers end‑to‑end services including exhibition planning and design, stand construction, on‑site operations, logistics, and advertising, positioning itself as a one‑stop platform for events in China.

The group organizes or co-organizes more than 30 exhibitions annually across manufacturing, automotive, printing, packaging, logistics, and consumer sectors, featuring well-known brands such as China International Machine Tool Show (CIMT), Auto China (Beijing International Automotive Exhibition), China Print Exhibition, and other specialized trade fairs. These events attract international exhibitors and buyers, especially from Asia and Europe, and serve as important gateways to the Chinese market.

Leveraging deep government and industry links, strong venue resources, and comprehensive operational capabilities, CIEC offers overseas organizers and corporate exhibitors a reliable partner for entering and expanding in China’s B2B trade fair landscape.
