Hall 2, this time.
In 2026 GTC moved to Hall 2 of the Futian centre, with some 170 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors expected, after more than 25,000 the year before. The organiser says it wants GTC to be the Canton Fair of Chinese companies going abroad.
Who stood on the floor.
Games, AI, short drama and direct-to-consumer brands again, and Microsoft Advertising among the first exhibitors named.
Since 2024 the series also has an autumn stop in Shanghai.

One request per time zone.
A brand selling in ten markets rarely runs one account. We split accounts by time zone and vertical, each with its own spend cap, and a second time zone or vertical is a second request.
