CURRENT PLANNING STATUS

Where the calendar stands.

The 15 October drawing-review hard deadline is within two weeks — this is the project’s center of gravity now.

Production planning attention — the National Day public holiday (1–7 October, official) falls inside the fabrication window for the 27–31 October build. Confirm fabrication release and material deliveries before the holiday. JUY guidance. China exhibition production planning guide

JUY RECOMMENDED PLANNING WINDOW

Late planning, handled properly.

Agencies arriving now are past the constructor-confirmation, drawing-declaration and utilities deadlines of September. That is the reality of the calendar, and it is still workable — if the next hard gate is treated as the project’s center of gravity.

Confirm the design package as it stands

Close open creative decisions now; the 5 September design recommendation has passed, so what exists today is what gets built.

Appoint a qualified mainland-China contractor immediately

The 15 September confirmation deadline has passed. The appointed contractor must be a mainland-China legal entity with a clean compliance record and the RMB 350,000 performance bond.

Submit drawings before the 15 October hard deadline

This is the next official gate. Double-deck booths and single-deck booths 4.5 m and above require structural drawing review — allow review time inside the submission.

Prepare credential applications

Construction passes, vehicle passes and show service badges are applied for per the official fee schedule; badge quotas scale with booth area.

Lock the build window 27–31 October into the schedule

Daily working hours are 8:00–20:00. Crew shifts, material deliveries and supervision are planned around those hours.

Plan dismantling before the show opens

Dismantling runs 18:00, 10 November – 22:00, 12 November. Crew and transport for the teardown are booked alongside the build, not after.

JUY LOCAL PRODUCTION WORKFLOW

How the build is run.

1 · Early planning

Scope, timeline and requirements are worked backward from the official dates; the qualified contractor and the drawing schedule are confirmed first.

2 · Design development

Approved concepts are developed into production-ready drawings, with Chinese technical documentation prepared for venue submission.

3 · Production

Fabrication runs in Shanghai workshops to the approved drawings, with progress tracked against the build window.

4 · Show preparation

The build schedule is coordinated with the venue; installation, snagging and show-day handover are led by an on-site project lead.

JUY VENUE / SITE COORDINATION

At NECC, in Chinese.

Technical submissions in Chinese

Drawing packages, facility applications and compliance documents prepared and filed in Chinese with the venue operator.

Build schedule coordination

Build-up sequencing, deliveries and crew access coordinated with the venue within the official working hours.

On-site project management

One accountable project lead on the ground from first build day through handover.

Acceptance inspection attendance

Presence and follow-through at the joint acceptance inspection after construction, until the booth is cleared.

JUY works as the appointed local delivery team for exhibitors and agencies — not as an official CIIE constructor and not as a partner of the organizer.

AGENCY MODEL

Your project, under your name.

JUY works behind international agencies as the Shanghai delivery team — design development, fabrication, installation and venue coordination, handled locally while the client relationship stays with you. This page also serves agencies looking for a NECC Shanghai exhibition contractor: the same local team covers CIIE special booths and other NECC (Shanghai) shows.

Useful answers.

Can a non-Chinese contractor build a CIIE special booth?
Per the official 9th-edition special-booth notice, the appointed contractor must be an independent legal entity registered in mainland China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) holding a valid business license, with no major legal violations since 1 January 2023, and must pay a RMB 350,000 performance bond. Agencies outside China meet this requirement by appointing a Shanghai-based team such as JUY for local delivery; the client relationship stays with the agency.
What is the drawing review hard deadline?
15 October 2026, per the official 9th CIIE Exhibition Service Flow. The recommended submission window was 20 September to 5 October. Structural drawing review is mandatory for all double-deck booths and for single-deck booths 4.5 m and above.
How late is too late to start?
Honestly: the 5 September design recommendation, the 15 September constructor-confirmation and drawing/rigging declaration, and the 25 September utilities deadlines have all passed. The next official hard gate is the 15 October drawing-review deadline, and booth construction runs 27–31 October. If drawings can still be submitted and reviewed before 15 October, the project can proceed.
