An official October 8 preparation meeting confirms final-stage work, but the October 9 report gives no public dates, tickets or registration link. Overseas visitors should separate confirmed facts from pending details and book flexibly.
Create confirmed and pending columns
Confirmed: the city held a preparation meeting and emphasized program delivery, public participation, service and safety. The report gives no public opening dates, venue, ticket, accepted ID or registration link. Do not fill the gaps with last year's timetable, search snippets or unofficial agents.
Verify exhibitor meetings, professional forums, general admission and city programs separately. Each may have a different organizer, credential and time window.
Keep accommodation and transport adjustable
Choose cancellable or changeable rates and avoid an unexplained premium room or inside ticket. Confirm passport check-in, breakfast, deposit, invoice and cancellation time zone; list actual occupants for a group.
Do not lock a pickup point before the official venue and dates appear. Keep rail, flight and city-transfer alternatives and add time for security, registration, samples and fragile ceramics.
Three extra preparations for buyers
Bring bilingual cards, a requirements list and non-confidential references. Define sample, quantity, unit price, delivery, packing, intellectual property and payee. A booth conversation is not supplier due diligence or a quality guarantee.
Register and pay only through the organizer, government or a clearly authorized platform. An interpreter may support meetings but cannot decide visa, admission, contract, customs or payment approval.
