Attendees could effortlessly enter and access materials such as conference

magazines, brochures, and notices by scanning WeChat QR codes, making the event

paperless and environmentally friendly.

The entire venue was constructed using eco-friendly materials, employing a

closed construction method within tents to minimize pollution. Additionally,

exhibition materials were designed to be sustainable, and props were reused

whenever possible. Transcending the limitations of traditional fragmented

exhibition setups, the exhibition implemented a display-oriented pathway,

creating an innovative and integrated outdoor exhibition model. The exhibition

layout was carefully planned to optimize the viewing experience, maximizing

space utilization and providing visitors with the best possible experience.

With a massive 3,000-square-meter outdoor screen, 12 sets of central control

audio systems, and over 100 multimedia interactive exhibits and devices, the

exhibition aimed to create an immersive interactive experience. Visitors could
