IAEE Announces China Council
1/18/2024
DALLAS – The International Association of Exhibitions and Events® (IAEE) announced today the members of its China Council.

As a People’s Republic of China (PRC) approved Foreign Nongovernment Organization (NGO), IAEE established a representative office in Shanghai. The China Council will assist IAEE in establishing working partnerships with key exhibition organizations in China for the purpose of sharing vital information, promoting the global exhibition industry and enhancing effective communications.

“IAEE has worked closely with our partners in China for many years to help promote and advance the exhibitions and events industry in the region, and globally, culminating in our approval as an NGO and the establishment of our Shanghai office,” said IAEE President and CEO Marsha Flanagan, M.Ed., CEM. “IAEE’s China Council is a valuable extension of our advocacy efforts on the importance of in-person events to the global economy, as well as our core value of education and peer-to-peer learning.”

To date, IAEE’s Certified in Exhibition Management® (CEM) Learning Program in China has yielded more than 1,616 graduates. In addition, IAEE has maintained a 20-year relationship with the Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Training Center in Beijing who is the licensee of the CEM program in China. In 2022, in conjunction with CCPIT, the Certified International Exhibition Professional (CIEP) was launched with currently 260 professionals having achieved this prestigious designation.
