ChinaImportal @ China Sourcing Fair: Garments & Textiles by Global Sources

Two weeks ago, I spent some time in Hong Kong, attending the “China Sourcing Fair – Garments & Textiles“. The fair was organized by Global Sources, the leading business-to-business media company – aimed at connecting Chinese suppliers with importers in the rest of the world.

It’s the first time I’ve represented ChinaImportal.com at a major event like this one. Apart from talking to other people in the industry, and drinking overpriced beer in Lan Kwai Fong, I also held an hour long presentation on “Buying Small Volumes from China”. In case you didn’t attend my presentation, you can download it here.

This was the biggest Global Sources fair so far (in terms of suppliers and visitors). It was also the last of their Sourcing Fairs for the spring season, but it’s back on again in October this year. Below follows a list of this autumn’s China Sourcing Fairs in Hong Kong:
