What is CPCA Show Plus (International Electronic Circuits Greater Bay Area Exhibition)?
CPCA Show Plus is the China Printed Circuit Association's autumn show in Shenzhen for printed circuit boards and the semiconductor packaging work linked to them. The association already runs the large spring circuit show in Shanghai. It launched this Greater Bay Area event in 2024 and combines it with its long-running autumn China–Japan PCB conference. The official name translates roughly as "Electronics & Semiconductor Industry Innovation Conference and International Electronic Circuits (Greater Bay Area) Exhibition", which reflects the "conference + exhibition" format.
The floor covers the whole board supply chain. There are PCB fabricators; IC substrates and ceramic substrates; drilling, imaging and plating equipment; copper-clad laminates, chemicals and other materials; smart-factory systems; and environmental technology such as water treatment and cleanrooms. Several of China's largest board makers are on the 2026 exhibitor list: Shennan Circuits, Kinwong, JLC (JLCPCB's parent group), Multek, Jinbaize and AKM Meadville. Victory Giant Technology, a major supplier of AI-server boards, is co-curating a new AI PCB ecosystem zone. The 2025 show also had Fastprint, Han's CNC, CFMEE, Sumitomo Electric, Atotech, FANUC and Nidec.
In 2025 the show covered 40,000 m² and drew more than 350 exhibitors and over 45,000 professional visitors across three days. The organizer said visitors came from downstream companies such as Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE, BYD, Foxconn and Cambricon. It is aimed at PCB and semiconductor engineers, buyers of boards and substrates, equipment and materials suppliers, investors and researchers. In 2026 the association said the show had gained UFI approval.
The 2026 edition is organised around special zones: AI PCB, semiconductor advanced-packaging substrates, a "PCB-empowered" hard-tech zone, the "Spark" global hardware innovation competition, a showcase of leading Chinese circuit makers and a university–industry research zone. Side events include the China–Japan Electronic Circuits Autumn Conference with the autumn PCB technology forum, OPEN TALK launch sessions for new products, a PCB investment meeting and forums on copper-clad laminates, embodied-AI robotics and commercial space. For anyone working with Shenzhen's electronics supply chain, it is a concentrated look at the board and substrate makers behind the region's hardware. It is also held about five weeks before the Hong Kong association's HKPCA Show at the same venue.
Why go
- Meet China's leading PCB makers (Shennan Circuits, Kinwong, JLC, Victory Giant, Multek) in one hall
- See the new AI PCB ecosystem and advanced-packaging substrate zones, aimed at AI-server and chip-packaging demand
- China–Japan Electronic Circuits Autumn Conference and the autumn PCB technology forum run alongside
- Equipment, chemicals and laminate suppliers for anyone setting up or auditing board production
Our take
Register on the official site before you go. The site is a JavaScript app and the show's news is mostly on the association's WeChat account, so allow extra time to find schedules. If you follow PCB supply chains, plan to go back five weeks later for the HKPCA Show at the same venue.
Go if you're
- PCB, substrate and semiconductor-packaging engineers
- Hardware companies sourcing boards and substrates
- Equipment, chemical and laminate suppliers and their customers
- Investors, analysts and researchers following the circuit-board industry
Who exhibits
Some of the companies at the 2026 edition, from the organiser's exhibitor list and press. 350 exhibitors in all (2025).
Forums, awards & what else is on
- AI PCB ecosystem zone, co-curated by Victory Giant Technology (2026)
- Semiconductor advanced-packaging substrate zone (2026)
- China–Japan Electronic Circuits Autumn Conference and autumn PCB technology/information forum
- OPEN TALK new-product and new-technology launch sessions
- "Spark" global hardware innovation competition zone and PCB investment annual meeting
Days & opening hours
Hours are the organiser's. Last entry is usually 30 minutes before closing, and the last day often closes early.
How to get in
- Just turn upTrade visitors can almost always register at the on-site counter. Bring your passport and a business card.
- Or pre-register onlineFree, about 3 minutes. You get a QR e-badge and skip the counter queue. Organiser's registration page ↗
- Collect your badgeShow the QR (or your passport) at the badge desk. Screenshot it first — venue Wi-Fi is slow on day one.

Flying in? The visitor guide
What international buyers ask us most, in one place.
Many passports get 30 days visa-free, and 55 nationalities can use 240-hour visa-free transit via Shenzhen when flying on to a third country. Check your eligibility before booking.
Link a Visa or Mastercard to Alipay or WeChat Pay before you fly — booths, taxis and canteens rarely take cards. Keep ¥500 cash for samples.
Get a roaming eSIM: Google, WhatsApp and Gmail don't work on hotel or venue Wi-Fi. Suppliers will ask for your WeChat, not your email.
Pre-register, bring your passport to collect the badge, and pack 200 business cards. Photograph each card next to the booth number — you'll forget by day two.
Hall English is patchy outside the big brands. A freelance interpreter costs ¥800–1,500 a day; book a week ahead for big fairs.
Don't carry 40 kg home. SF Express and DHL counters sit in the main lobbies and will ship samples door to door from about ¥200.
Hotels on site sell out months ahead. Bao'an Center or Qianhai are 25–30 min away with far more choice.
- Wear proper walking shoes — 20k steps a day is normal.
- Taxi queues after 5pm are brutal; walk to Shenzhen World North station or book a Didi for 4:30pm.
- Food courts sit along the central corridor; the ones at the far ends are quieter.
