Orbital rates this event Platinum.
HOTELEX Shanghai earns a Platinum rating based on attendee quality, exhibitor ROI, and relevance to the restaurant industry. One of the top-rated events in this space — highly recommended for companies looking to grow their presence.
HOTELEX Shanghai is one of the larger hospitality trade shows in Asia, drawing 10,000-plus attendees from across the restaurant and foodservice industry each year. It runs March 30 through April 2, 2026, at its usual home in Shanghai. The focus is squarely on growth and revenue, which means the floor skews toward buyers evaluating suppliers, operators scouting new concepts, and brands looking to close deals rather than just collect business cards. Ticket prices are accessible, keeping the attendee mix broad. For restaurant operators with an eye on the Chinese market or Asian expansion, this is a practical stop. Suppliers and vendors targeting that buyer base will find real density here, not just foot traffic.
