Exhibitor Tips

Together, we can meet guest expectations, enhance the show’s remarkable quality, and cut down on time, expense, and resource waste.

Additionally, we urge all exhibitors to take part in the Better Booths initiative, which seeks to replace single-use booths with recyclable or reusable constructions.

Cut down on wasteful signage

promoting the use of digital resources for booth items, encouraging less printing, and responding to inquiries by email and website recommendations
Make reusable, undated signs that you can use year after year if printing is required.
needing recyclable materials, such cardboard signage, and avoiding foam core signage
Cut down on booth waste

mandating that GES offer sustainable choices
Refusing to use carpet and bringing your own flooring, like reusable jigsaw foam flooring, to all shows
Breaking down all cardboard boxes and placing them in the correct recycling bins
Request additional booth recycling bins and compost collection bins
Use only compostable or recyclable service ware for samples and giveaways
Mark your materials for recycling or donation with stickers provided at the exhibitor service desk
Set a Leave No Trace goal to remove all booth items and packing materials and donate excess giveaways

We are committed to making Furniture China a positive impact on people and the planet. By building the connections and knowledge people need, we hope to play a key role in helping China’s MICE industry improve its own sustainability and help them address the big challenges of the future.

To our users, we also welcome you to share your company’s or brand’s unique sustainability story.

What does sustainability mean to your brand? What are the key sustainability challenges in your industry that you would like to help visitors to the exhibition address? What is the core message you want to convey? Talk about partnerships or specific long-term plans.

Sustainability should be both aspirational and inspirational!
