NEPCON China电子展正式加入UFI行列！

提到UFI（全球展览业协会），会展业的朋友们想必一定不陌生，但对于“隔行如隔山”的其他朋友们来说，可能会有些疑惑。不如我们就先来了解下，在会展业内如雷贯耳的UFI，到底是什么来头？

UFI是全球展览业协会，由世界上的展会组织者和展览中心经营者，以及主要的国家和国际展览协会、展览行业的精选合作伙伴组成。UFI的主要目标是代表、促进和支持其成员和展览业的商业利益。UFI直接代表全球50,000多名展览业从业人员，同时也与60个国家和地区协会成员密切合作。目前，全世界有83个国家的800多个成员组织签约成为会员。约有1000个国际贸易博览会自豪地贴上了UFI的认证标签，这是对参观者和参展商的质量保障。UFI成员继续为国际商业界提供独特的营销平台，旨在开发优秀的面对面的商业机会。

UFI认证审核非常严格，如果一个展会要被授予UFI认证，必须接受由UFI制定的软硬指标衡量。UFI将审核展会面积、展会人数、境内外参展商数量等，而这些数据必须由中立的专业机构来提供 ，UFI会对这些中介机构提供的数据进行再审核以确保其真实性。

除了以上的硬性标准外，UFI也会审核展会服务、现场管理、市场宣传等软性指标，UFI认为能够通过认证的展会在这些方面必须在行业内位居前列，且具有相当的影响力。因此在考察时，UFI会将申请认证的展会与国际上其他相关展会进行对比，并且展会的合作对象、主办单位都将成为考察其影响力的佐证。

以上所举仅仅只是认证标准的“冰山一角”，见微知著我们可以看出，UFI对于申请展会的认定可谓是谨慎且严格。UFI认证对于展会行业来说，是高质量展会的全球权威性印章。UFI以其绝对的专业性、权威性，确保认证的每一个数据结果都真实可靠。这意味着获得UFI认证的展会，其各方面实力都必须真实且非常出色。

因此，此次收入囊中的UFI认证，既为长久以来不断被行业争相模仿的NEPCON China电子展正名，巩固了其国际性展会地位。同时也标志着NEPCON China未来将得到更多海外媒体、协会的支持，获得更多与国际市场交流的机会，更为展商及观众提供了一个高度专业的国际化交流平台。

NEPCON China 2022 秉持“智造连芯”的创新理念，致力于将先进封装测试技术与最新的PCBA技术趋势融合一站式呈现。展会将汇聚600个企业及品牌展示PCBA全球首发新品，包括表面贴装（SMT）、智能工厂及自动化技术、点胶喷涂、测试测量、半导体封测、电子制造服务（EMS）等展区。

同时，展会继续战略布局汽车电子板块，配合汽车制造主题的技术研讨会及采配活动，吸引更多汽车行业的品牌企业买家参观采购。展会将发挥行业口碑力量，预计邀请35,000名来自医疗、汽车、通信、服务器、大型工控产品等行业的高端电子制造买家莅临体验行业首发产品、获知前沿技术与方案、会见上下游业务伙伴。

UFI is undoubtedly known to those working in the convention and exhibition industry. However, outsiders and newcomers may not know much about it – let's explore what UFI is.

UFI is the global trade association of the world’s tradeshow organisers and exhibition centre operators, as well as the major national and international exhibition associations, and selected partners of the exhibition industry. UFI’s main goal is to represent, promote and support the business interests of its members and the exhibition industry. UFI directly represents more than 50,000 exhibition industry employees globally, and also works closely with its 60 national and regional association members. More than 800 member organisations in 83 countries around the world are presently signed up as members. Around 1,000 international trade fairs proudly bear the UFI approved label, a quality guarantee for visitors and exhibitors alike. UFI members continue to provide the international business community with a unique marketing media aimed at developing outstanding face-to-face business opportunities.

The auditing process for UFI approval is very rigorous. For an exhibition to become an UFI approved event, it will first be measured by hard and soft metrics developed by UFI. Examples of hard metrics audited by UFI include the exhibition area, level of attendance, number of domestic and foreign exhibitors. These metrics must be measured and provided by neutral specialist agencies. UFI will then audit these metrics to ensure authenticity.

UFI also audits soft metrics such as exhibition service, on-site management, and marketing. UFI believes that a certified exhibition must be at the forefront of the industry and have a considerable impact on these metrics. Therefore, UFI will compare the exhibition applying for approval with other relevant international exhibitions during the audit. The exhibition's partners and sponsors constitute as proof of its influence.

The above criteria are only the tip of the iceberg. UFI is relatively cautious and strict regarding exhibition applications. The UFI Approved Event labels are a global stamp of authority for high quality exhibitions. UFI ensures that data results are genuine and reliable by making use of its high level of authority. UFI-approved exhibitions must be authentic and outstanding in all aspects.

Therefore, gaining the status of "UFI Approved Event" has not only endorsed NEPCON China but also consolidated its position as an exhibition on the international level. It also marks the start of NEPCON China garnering more support from overseas media and associations, gaining more opportunities to communicate with the global market, and providing exhibitors and visitors with a highly professional communication platform on the international level.

NEPCON China 2022 focuses on the innovative concept of "Intelligent Manufacturing Connected Chips" and will present the latest Advanced Packaging and PCBA technology trends. The exhibition will bring together 600 brands and companies to showcase the world's first PCBA products. Surface mount (SMT), smart factory and automation technology, dispensing and spraying, testing and measurement, electronic manufacturing services (EMS), and other relevant areas will also be exhibited.

Furthermore, the exhibition will continue to strategically lay out the automotive electronics sector – holding automotive manufacturing-themed technical seminars and procurement and distribution activities – while attracting more brand-name corporate buyers in the automotive industry.

The exhibition will leverage the UFI's reputation and invite up to an estimated 35,000 high-end electronics manufacturing buyers from the medical, automotive, and communications sectors. Large industrial control product industries will have the opportunity to experience the industry's first products. Finally, attendees will learn about cutting-edge technologies and solutions, while meeting upstream and downstream business partners.
