On 31 July 2025, Worlddidac hosted an exclusive webinar for exhibitors and members to help them get fully prepared for Worlddidac Asia 2025, happening 17–19 September in Hangzhou, China. Here’s a recap of the most practical and valuable insights — designed to make your participation smooth and successful.
1. Understanding the Opportunity
China is home to the world’s largest education system with over 500,000 schools, 29 million teachers, and 290 million students. The country is rapidly embracing digital transformation, supported by an annual 30 billion RMB in central funding. By 2027, 80% of schools will adopt smart solutions.
This creates unique opportunities for exhibitors offering vocational training solutions, AI-powered tools, and smart learning technologies.
2. Use the Digital Pre-Show Platform to Your Advantage
One of the most powerful tools for exhibitors is the AI-driven Pre-Show Platform. It helps you connect with buyers before the event, upload product details, and schedule meetings in advance. It even supports 13 languages and offers AI matching for targeted visibility.
“Exhibitors who optimized their profiles last year saw up to 35% more booth traffic.”
3. Your Booth Matters
First impressions define success. Open layouts, clear bilingual visuals, and QR codes make your booth welcoming and informative. Staff should be proactive and approachable — this cultural nuance matters.
“81% of visitor engagement happens in the first 30 seconds at your booth.”
4. Travel, Connectivity & Payment Essentials
Prepare early for visas, connectivity, and payments. Apply for an M Business Visa and secure your invitation letter in advance. Set up WeChat Pay or Alipay, as cash is rarely accepted in China. For navigation and ride-hailing, apps like Didi and Baidu Maps are essential. A local SIM, eSIM, and a VPN will keep you connected.
Consider an eSIM with 10GB+ data for smooth communication.
5. Build Relationships, Not Just Deals
In China, business thrives on relationships — or guanxi. Use respectful greetings, exchange business cards with both hands, and avoid rushing decisions. Small, thoughtful gifts in red or gold wrapping are appreciated, but avoid items like clocks or knives.

6. Logistics & Onsite Support
Plan ahead for shipping and booth setup. If you are shipping equipment, note the deadlines: sea freight should arrive before 1 September and air freight by 4 September. Onsite services such as furniture rental, printing, and interpreters are available but should be booked in advance.
