Dear ChinShine Clients, It has been 71 days since the first notice of postponement announced on January 28, 2020. The pandemic forces the world to a brief pause and isolates us physically, yet it draws us closer together and closer to love than ever before. During the past few weeks, many friends sent regards, inquiries and worries as well as shared first-hand information with us. We sincerely thank you for your patience, understanding and great support over this tough period. There is nothing more important than the health and safety of exhibitors, visitors and partners for Xiamen Stone Fair. We have been monitoring the global situation of COVID-19 closely. After deliberate consideration and evaluation, three decisions were made as follows: 1. The 20th China Xiamen International Stone Fair is further postponed to October 27-30, 2020. 2. The 21st China Xiamen International Stone Fair will be scheduled on May 18-21, 2021. 3.

Therefore, the Organizing Committee decided to schedule Xiamen Stone Fair 2021 on May 18-21, leaving a preparation time between two editions, in the hope of generating more opportunities for the industry and ensuring an orderly production and trade cycle. Cloud Xiamen Stone Fair – Never Stop —— During the past 20 years, Xiamen Stone Fair has been committed to serving as a platform for the stone industry in communication and presentation. Given the face-to-face activities are restricted at present, how to connect exhibitors and visitors beyond time and space becomes a problem to be solved urgently. Therefore, Xiamen Stone Fair makes a decision to launch an online platform, Cloud Xiamen Stone Fair, as an upgraded service and a warm-up for the October event. As a virtual platform, Cloud Xiamen Stone Fair aims to provide an online preview of the show, with the intention of offering exhibitors to showcase prod...
