About the fair
TIM Expo Shanghai is the most authoritative and influential trade show in the Asia-Pacific region and China's first building exhibition for thermal insulation and energy saving, drawing the attention of the global insulation industry. From developers, architectural design institutes and traders to industry associations and international buyers, the Shanghai thermal-insulation materials and energy-saving technology show is the best platform to understand the industry, develop the market, expand contacts, strengthen brand status and showcase your products. Themed sections: inorganic, organic and metallic insulation materials, insulation-material production equipment, wall and roof insulation, soundproofing and sound-absorbing materials, and building energy-saving technologies.

Planning the trip
- Register the badge online. Every major fair issues visitor badges in advance, and on-site registration means queueing on the busiest morning of the show. Registration usually opens one to two months out.
- Check the visa position early. China's entry rules have changed repeatedly in recent years, including visa-free arrangements for a growing list of countries and transit exemptions. Confirm what applies to your passport for this month, and ask the organiser for an invitation letter if a business visa is needed — issuing one is routine.
- Book accommodation before the dates firm up. A large fair fills its host city and rates move accordingly. Cancellable bookings made early cost less than confirmed ones made late.
- Decide which halls before you arrive. The bigger Chinese fairs run to several halls across separate phases, and walking them without a plan burns a day. Shortlist the stands you need and treat anything else as a bonus.
- Plan the follow-up, not just the visit. Business cards collected at a fair convert poorly once you fly home: quotes arrive in patchy English, samples stall, and the time difference eats a day per exchange. Deciding who handles that before you travel is what makes the trip pay for itself.
