HOTELEX Shenzhen 2026: Open Hosted Buyer Program

HOTELEX Shenzhen 2026, scheduled from October 13-15, 2026, will be held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center, transforming the city into a bustling hub for the global hospitality and foodservice industry. With over 2,500 exhibitors and more than 150,000 professional buyers expected from across the supply chain, this event promises to be a pivotal opportunity for networking and business development.

Invitation to Global Buyers

As businesses across Asia strengthen their sourcing and collaboration strategies, HOTELEX Shenzhen 2026 has extended a warm invitation to international buyers to participate in its Hosted Buyer Program. This initiative is designed specifically for distributors, importers, wholesalers, retailers, franchisors, and other qualified buyers, allowing them to maximize their experience at the event. Rather than wandering through countless booths, invited buyers will be paired with exhibitors that align with their sourcing interests and business objectives, facilitating targeted discussions and productive meetings.

Tailored Business Meetings

Participants in the program will benefit from pre-arranged business meetings and specialized buyer services. This unique approach will enable buyers to identify reliable suppliers, discover innovative products, and build long-term commercial relationships. HOTELEX's dedicated team is available to ensure that every participant’s individual requirements are met, thereby enhancing the overall experience.

Exclusive Benefits for Qualified Buyers

Those who qualify for the Hosted Buyer Program will receive a range of exclusive benefits, further enhancing their experience at HOTELEX Shenzhen. Complimentary shuttle services between hotels and the exhibition venue will ease travel concerns, while access to a VIP lounge for invited buyers will provide a space to relax and network over refreshments. Additionally, attendees will have opportunities to participate in partner-matching sessions, industry forums, and various networking activities throughout the duration of the fair.

Why Shenzhen?

This significant location not only amplifies networking opportunities but also positions HOTELEX Shenzhen as an international platform for global suppliers and professional buyers to connect, exchange ideas, and explore new business opportunities within the entire value chain of hospitality and catering.
