About the event

Global Connect Show returns to Shenzhen, the heart of China's tech industry, on April 26, 2027. GCS Shenzhen 2026 was our biggest event yet, with 80+ international media and 80+ brands and partners. GCS Shenzhen 2027 again brings global journalists, content creators, buyers and investors face to face with the companies shaping the next wave of consumer technology.

It follows straight on from the GCS China Innovation Tour 2027: the international media arrive in Shenzhen after a week inside companies in Suzhou and Shanghai.

The day

  • Media roundtable: brand leaders and international media on how brands move from exposure to real influence abroad.
  • Rapid-fire pitches: brands take the stage for short pitches to the room.
  • Open-floor showcase: hours of hands-on demos at brand tables, with media, analysts and buyers.
  • Best of GCS Shenzhen 2027 awards: judged on the day by the media and Industry Voices in the room.

Industry Voices

GCS brings award judges, analysts and experts together with brands' founders, R&D and product leads, for direct questions and honest feedback from the target market.

Exhibiting at GCS

  • A dedicated table with two entry passes and up to three product categories on display
