On August 31, 2023, the 20-day countdown to the opening of the 16th China (Beijing) International Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines and Mining Machines Exhibition & Seminar (BICES 2023) began. All preparatory work for the exhibition is now complete. On behalf of all exhibitors, the organizing committee officially extends an invitation to users and enthusiastic visitors, sincerely welcoming everyone to visit, exchange ideas, and cooperate at the exhibition site. The visitor invitation letter is attached herewith.

BICES 2023 will open on the morning of September 20 (Wednesday) and conclude on the afternoon of September 23 (Saturday, which is also the public day of the exhibition). The 150,000 square meters of indoor exhibition halls and outdoor exhibition space leased by the organizer are already fully booked, and the floor area ratio of the exhibition halls has hit a new record high. The number of exhibitors exceeds 1,300, and nearly all of the world's top 50 construction machinery companies are participating, each organized directly by their corporate headquarters. Exhibit transportation and exhibitor booth construction are proceeding in an orderly manner. Among the high-quality conference activities held concurrently, 31 are organized by the BICES host units, and more than 100 organized by media and exhibitors have all been confirmed.

Through prior promotion via our own database, domestic and international media, partner organizations, and related international exhibitions, as well as through multiple channels, methods, and content including visits to user organizations, visits to relevant industry associations and chambers of commerce, and a series of user symposium presentations, the organization of domestic and international users and visitors has achieved remarkable results. The volume of registrations, inquiries, and messages received on the official BICES website alone far exceeds that of previous editions, and attention has increased significantly. Meanwhile, according to recent information and feedback, direct user organizations such as China Railway, China Railway Construction, China State Construction, China Communications Construction, China Road and Bridge, and Beijing Construction Engineering, as well as many large construction units in Beijing and transportation and municipal construction units in many provinces and cities, have been systematically organizing equipment procurement, equipment management, and related professional technical personnel to visit. International cooperation associations and organizations in Turkey, the United Kingdom, Spain, Russia, Vietnam, and India have also been organizing visitor groups and finalizing their itineraries to China, and group visitors from more countries and regions are confirming their final itineraries.

After a four-year absence, we are about to meet again after a long separation. BICES 2023 will grandly open in just 20 days. Let us embrace our joy and look forward together to gathering in Beijing in golden September with old and new friends to discuss the future!
