HOTELEX Shenzhen

HOTELEX Shenzhen is an annual trade fair that has established itself as a major industry event for professionals in the hotel and catering sectors. The name HOTELEX stands for "Hotel Equipment and Supply Expo," reflecting the comprehensive scope of the exhibition. It is organized by Sinoexpo Informa Markets International Exhibition Co., Ltd., one of the leading international trade fair organizers with extensive experience in the hospitality sector.

The event takes place at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center – one of the largest and most advanced exhibition venues in the world. Each year, it hosts the global hospitality community, providing a platform for discovering innovations, building business relationships, and expanding professional networks.

What sets HOTELEX Shenzhen apart is its thematic diversity and its clear focus on the current and future needs of the hospitality and foodservice industries. The exhibition showcases a high-quality, carefully curated product range across eight key sectors: coffee, tea, alcoholic beverages, food ingredients, bakery products, catering equipment, office supplies, and lifestyle goods. Particularly noteworthy is the seamless integration of traditional hospitality equipment with modern food and beverage concepts – a hallmark that lends the event a distinctly forward-looking character.

In addition to the product exhibition, HOTELEX Shenzhen offers a varied supporting program. Highlights include cooking competitions, barista shows, and wine tastings – popular attractions that make the event both informative and experiential. The trade fair also serves as a platform for knowledge exchange, promoting international standards within the dynamic and rapidly developing hospitality landscape of South China.

Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of industries – from food and beverage producers to suppliers of catering, hotel, and bakery equipment, as well as providers of design and lifestyle products. The core audience consists of hotel operators, restaurateurs, baristas, buyers, caterers, investors, and decision-makers – the very individuals shaping the future of the hospitality industry.

HOTELEX Shenzhen is part of a strategically aligned trade fair series held in various cities across China and Southeast Asia. Each edition is tailored to the specific characteristics of the regional market, with the Shenzhen event considered a flagship occasion in South China – a region known for its innovation, dynamism, and economic growth.
