World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference and Exhibition 2026

About the fair

The World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference and Exhibition (WICV) is the only world-class professional conference of its kind first endorsed by the Chinese government, and the world's largest international exhibition dedicated to new energy and intelligent connected vehicles. WICV plays an important role in helping China's intelligent connected vehicles reach the global forefront and in advancing the country's new-energy and intelligent-connected-vehicle industries. It aims to be the most authoritative, forward-looking and influential world-class platform in this field, comprehensively showcasing the reputation of new-energy and intelligent-connected-vehicle companies worldwide, strengthening brand recognition, promoting new products and technologies, technological innovation and cross-industry integration, and exploring new ecosystems, standards and models that lead the development trends of China's and the world's automotive industry.

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.
