As we enter Q2, Reed Exhibitions Greater China is preparing to produce its largest ever sequence of events - 70 scheduled shows, covering 12 specialized and fast-growing industries between February and December.
As part of RELX Group, Reed Exhibitions' full year results for 2016 were recently announced showing both underlying revenue and profit growth. Reed Exhibitions continued to pursue growth opportunities in 2016, launching 32 new events and completing seven small acquisitions.
Amid China's transitioning economy, Reed Exhibitions Greater China continues to move forward by driving new business via a renewed focus on launches and adjacency launches and further development of Reed Exhibitions Korea.
The company has taken steps to drive innovation, while boosting sales and marketing effectiveness, implementation of rigorous business matchmaking, and investment in a variety of company-wide talent development programs.
"Akin to our global counterparts, we must always keep customer value a top priority," said Hu Wei, president of Reed Exhibitions Greater China. "This includes an unwavering commitment to building new relationships while strengthening existing ties that have made Reed Exhibitions a powerful force in the industry. As we build upon our growth, we can achieve this by focusing on our mission to 'deliver contacts, content and communities' via our talented and engaged workforce -- currently over 600 strong, together with Reed Exhibitions' international marketing resources and local knowledge of the industries and communities in which we are based."
Reed Exhibitions Greater China's portfolio includes some of the region's most renowned events, attracting both a local and global audience.

It is held annually at the National Exhibition and Conference Center, the world's largest single block exhibition complex spanning 330,000 sqm.
