As global supply chains and consumer expectations continue to shift rapidly, CIFF Guangzhou returns to the Canton Fair Complex on 18th–21st and 28th-31st March for its 57th outing, with a clear mission shaped by its theme, CONNECT·CREATE.
CIFF is set to strengthen its role as a global meeting point where brands, designers, manufacturers and buyers converge to explore new business models, reinforce industry connections and accelerate innovation across the furniture sector. Building on the direction introduced with CONNECT · CREATE, the 2026 edition promises an integrated preview of the ideas and trends shaping tomorrow’s markets.
Through its three major exhibitions – Home Furniture, Office & Commercial Space, and CIFM/interzum guangzhou – CIFF creates "a comprehensive ecosystem where production, design, culture and commerce come together to envision the future of living, working and manufacturing".
