We presented 26 live showcases (incl. 3 performing arts related VR projects), 10 professional development sessions, and one Special Programme: Theatre for Young Audiences, providing networking opportunities to facilitate international cooperation and showcasing latest traditional and contemporary works by most creative artists and ensembles in China.

 

ChinaSPAF 2021 runs from 14-18 October. In the light of COVID-19, ChinaSPAF 2021 will be a hybrid event presented both physically and virtually. The physical part of ChinaSPAF will be held at InterContinental Shanghai Jing'An, while the virtual part will be broadcasted through live-streaming platforms to support and facilitate real-time interaction and communication between delegates both at home and abroad.

 

Therefore, ChinaSPAF launches e-Pass for delegates who cannot travel to get engaged with the ChinaSPAF community. With the e-Pass, you can have access to live-streaming parts as well as on-demand videos of ChinaSPAF sessions, seminars and forums. Besides, the brand new Hybrid Booth allows you to achieve real-time promotion and customized communication from remote distance as well as get first-hand and on-site information with participants who attend the physical part of ChinaSPAF 2021.

 

For those who are restricted by the physical space but still willing to promote your creative works to the domestic Chinese market, ChinaSPAF initiates 1-2 page(s) Spread on ChinaSPAF official guide book as well as full page advertising flyer in the ChinaSPAF 2021 Gift Bag to attract more professionals.

 

Also, Coffee e-Lounge invites you to casually gather online, (re)think and talk about hot topics and get inspired through active exchange of ideas.

 

So, don’t miss this opportunity to (re)engage with the global community!

 

Get registered here and we look forward to having your company at the ChinaSPAF 2021 this October!
