To keep pace with times and share "China's opportunities," the 18th Conference 
for the International Exchange of Professionals (hereinafter referred to as 
CIEP), sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and the 
People's Government of Shenzhen Municipality and hosted by Shenzhen Center for 
International Exchange of Personnel, will be launched. With its official 
website as the hosting place, the CIEP will use high technology to create a new 
exhibition mode, namely, integrated "online conference with offline 
activities," and an "internet convention and exhibition."

Gathering over the "Cloud" to explore development

Due to COVID-19, the 18th CIEP will adopt online meeting as the platform for 
the conference, and set up functional zones including Virtual Exhibition Hall, 
Project Docking, Guest of Honor, Online Recruitment, etc., to gather global 
users over the "Cloud" and share the new trend of international professionals' 
exchange.

It is reported that the Virtual Exhibition Hall, with cutting-edge AR/VR/3D 
technology to create up street-view exhibition areas, will present immersive 
experience for the attendees. The Online Recruitment area gives play to 
advantages of various HR service organizations to demonstrate their 
whole-process, one-stop, contact-free recruitment methods. The innovatively 
launched "Project Docking Talent-Show" platform will overcome the limits of 
time and space for professionals, projects, and funds, enabling zero-distance 
interactive communication.

Breaking boundaries to connect for win-win results

Since its inception in 2001, the CIEP, as a international, and comprehensive 
talent and intelligence exhibition open to overseas experts, training 
institutions, technological innovation talents, has been successfully held for 
17 years. 

Each year, it attracts professional organizations from over 40 countries and 
regions and there were more than 35,000 overseas experts, students, and 
professionals. Over 10,000 projects were successfully implemented. 

Nowadays, CIEP has become a bridge for in-depth cooperation between other 
countries and China. Russia, as the Guest of Honor this year, will showcase the 
achievements of technological innovation and talent exchange with China online, 
providing the best platform for the two countries to seek cooperative 
opportunities.

A Chinese market, more open to international collaborations, will form more 
positive interactions with the world, resulting in a more progressive and 
prosperous international market. Let's join the CIEP to promote the 
establishment of a global community eager to forward technological development, 
and share "China's opportunities" which welcome technological progress and 
innovative development.
