The Centenary Conference will be held in Shanghai again
The World Hardware Conference has a long history. This year marks the 108th year since the World Hardware Conference was first held in Paris in 1909. For more than 100 years, the World Hardware Congress has been held in rotation among the member countries of the International Federation of Hardware and Homeware Associations (IHA), covering Europe, Asia, North America, South America and other continents. Before China joined IHA, the members of the organization were all developed countries. Until the end of the last century, China's rapid development of hardware industry attracted the attention of the world, showing the amazing Chinese speed for the world, and also brought excellent hardware products and a huge hardware market to the world. Seeing the growth and future of Chinese hardware, IHA quickly offered olive branches from international organizations to China.
After several visits and exchanges of information, in 2000, at the invitation of the Council, China Hardware Products Association joined IHA on behalf of China, taking the first step to integrate into the world Organization. As China's strength increases, the curiosity of international counterparts about China gradually deepens, and the demand for first-hand experience of the development of the Chinese industry is increasing. At this time, the call for China to hold the conference is increasingly high.
