expressed their interest in this year's exhibition by means
of internet reservations and so on.  In addition, not only
the country pavilions from several countries and areas,
including India, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam,

committee and commercial union of domestic provinces,
municipals and industry-intensive areas will come to visit.
 It is predicted that there'll be more than 1,200 million
professionals to present in this exhibition.

    As a feature and highlight of Shanghaitex, trade
liaisons have drawn more and more attention from
exhibitions, buyers and organizers.  The organizers
appointed a trade liaison group several months ago to visit
Hubei province, Henan province and Shandong province for 2
weeks, in an attempt to understand the short-term strategy
and median and long-term strategy of the relative industry
committee, large enterprises and new developing area,
introduce the up-to-date information of the exhibition and
collect the advice from them. Moreover, the host held a
trade negotiation meeting before the exhibition in order to
make full preparation for business during the exhibition. 

    During the period, the organizers will create a trade
liaison office which can assist exhibitors to deal with
relative procedures of sales of exhibits after the
exhibition, and an intellectual office which helps solve
relative legal problems.  Additionally, onsite clinics,
free shuttle buses, mobile rest rooms and other
human-oriented service measures are prepared by the
organizers. 

    Before the opening of the exhibition, the organizers
employed an online registration system for the audience.
Thus, people who are interested in the exhibition can make
a reservation on the internet, and get the ticket directly
from the reservation pass without filling in a form and
waiting in line at the exhibition center. 

    1,400 participants are gathered in nine indoor
exhibition halls and three temporary exhibition halls for
this event.  Professional exhibition areas are separated
according to different equipment and technology for the
first time:

     -- Professional areas for knitting machines and
hosiery machines;
     -- Professional areas for printing machines and dyeing
and finishing 
        machines;
     -- Professional areas for spinning machines,
industry-used cloth machines  
        and non-weaving machines;
     -- Professional areas for weaving machines; and
     -- Professional areas for spare parts.

    In order to make both participants and visitors feel
convenient, comfortable and easy, and to meet the different
needs among professional audiences from the world, to most
extent, the host broke the former boundary between the
overseas exhibition areas and domestic areas, formed
exhibition halls with clear structures and employed
eye-catching direction boards.  These lead to a perfect
performance of exhibiting the basic service concept of the
host.

    2007 is a critical year for the Chinese textile
industry under the eleventh five-year plan.  The textile
industry has stepped into a stage of strengthening
self-innovation, advancing technological progress,
upgrading, and boosting gradient transition by focusing on
key programs for technological development and

1984 to an event with exhibition area of 120,000 square
meters this year, has developed into one of the most
influential professional exhibitions in Asia.  It is the
