R+T Asia gears up for an ‘unmissable event’ in May 2024

Issue 94 January 2024

R+T Asia, the leading exhibition for sun shading systems and doors/gates, is gearing up for its 19th international edition, scheduled to take place in Shanghai from 28 to 30 May. Building on the positive outcome of its 2023 edition, which received acclaim from both exhibitors and visitors, anticipation for the upcoming edition is marked by ambition and optimism.

In January, the event’s organisers introduced streamlined visitor pre-registration, designed for swift and efficient handling. With this new system in place, registered online visitors will enjoy complimentary access (no ticket on-site), ensuring a hassle-free experience while also benefiting from expedited entry to the exhibition floor.

As China continues to strengthen its global trade relations, the show anticipates welcoming a growing number of international visitors in 2024. Citizens from countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and more can now enjoy the unprecedented upgrade of visa-free access, with the list of eligible countries expanding.

The upcoming show is poised to deliver a substantial experience, as organisers anticipate hosting more than 750 exhibitors within an expansive 120,000 square metres of exhibiting space. Noteworthy participants such as Coulisse Xera, Winplus, Sanjin Japan, MYT Shutters, Winlux, Bestex, Elitex, Xidamen, Daai, Yameite, Mutex, Dooya, A-OK, Novo, RAEX, Zhenfei, Hongding, Greenweb, and many others, have already confirmed their participation at R+T Asia 2024.

In a strategic move to enhance the experience for all attendees, R+T Asia 2024 will be held for the second time in the modern and prestigious National Exhibition and Convention Centre (Shanghai). This venue offers comfortable space and enables optimal traffic flow for visitors. The organisers assure that this change reflects their commitment to continuously improving and providing an exceptional event environment.

“To ensure a seamless transition, especially for our global audience visiting the venue for the first time, we will recommend the best places to stay, supported by friendly guidelines and special discounts in the vibrant international area located near the venue,” organizers said in a statement. This  exciting location, a central hub during the 2023 event, is poised to reclaim its position as the go-to destination for R+T Asia’s international visitors and exhibitors in 2024. Pre-registered international visitors and exhibitors will receive exclusive communication in advance about the place and available discounts.

A commitment to offering a hassle-free experience for international visitors doesn’t end here. To facilitate seamless navigation and enhance the overall stay, organisers are introducing the dedicated EasyShanghai guide. Crafted to assist guests in acclimating to China with ease, even before arrival, the guide will offer insights into current local payment methods, followed by clear instructions, guidance on transportation (including apps with taxi services), essential travel tips, information on what’s new in China, and recommendations for optimal hotel bookings, as well as various entertainment options available during the stay in Shanghai. 

“The goal is to ensure that international visitors and exhibitors, especially for some of them, for whom it will be a trip after a long time, feel secure and well-informed, enhancing their comfort during R+T Asia 2024,” said the organisers. This tailored guide will be provided in advance to all international participants who pre-register for R+T Asia 2024.

For those planning to attend R+T Stuttgart in February 2024, R+T Asia organisers extend a warm invitation to visit their booth EO149, located in hall C2, within the vibrant Asian Pavilion at R+T. Traditionally, visitors are welcomed to participate in a special Lucky Draw at the R+T Asia booth. By doing so, not only will they receive guaranteed gifts, but they will also have the chance to win an exciting trip to R+T Asia 2024.
