The Third China Dongguan International Electronics and Information Products Exhibition will be held in Dongguan from June 6 to 9.
Dongguan, a city near Shenzhen, boasts more than 2,800 electronics and information companies and has become one of the country's most advanced production and processing centres for electronics and information products.
The exhibition is being organized by the Electronics and Information Industry Sub-council of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, which has vowed to make the exhibition a worldwide success.
The sub-council has also set up a website -- www.ieip.gov.cn to offer updated information on the exhibition.
More than 15,000 visitors are expected to attend the exhibition including several delegates from abroad.
Visitors will also be able to participate seminars on advanced electronics and information technologies offered visitors, company executives and experts the chance to exchange ideas.
During last year's exhibition, 430 companies from both home and abroad, including Sony, Sanyo and China Telecom, displayed products on more than 500 stands.
Local demand for electronic and information products was so strong at last year's event that many exhibited products were immediately bought by local purchasers.
China's electronics and information industry is experiencing a rapid growth.
Last year, the export and import volume of electronics and information products reached US$124 billion, taking account of 24.3 percent of the country's total export and import in international trade.
