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

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.
