The first day will be invitation-only, creating a targeted, high-value networking environment with minimal distractions. This day will bring together selected local importers, wholesalers, distributors, VIP buyers, leading media partners, influencers and industry opinion leaders, fostering high-quality interactions and meaningful business exchange. International visitors, meanwhile will enjoy full access across all three trade days, with the flexibility to explore the exhibition at their own pace.
