Cultivation of Exhibition People Is Top Urgent

Each year, Shanghai has more than 300 international commercial exhibitions. Behind the rapid growth, the government invested a lot and the commercial operation is very few. World Expo Talent Development Center will put high demand on the quality and the capability on the trainees.

Exhibition talent divided into top management talent and practical operation talent. Comparative mature system has been formed in international exhibition industry. When we learn these experience, there is a process of localization. We Chinese have strong personal capability, but less team spirit. So to enhance team spirit and launch the exhibition industry into the market is the focus of the training.
