Since its inception in 2001, the Xiamen International Stone Fair has exploded. Geared for stone industry professionals worldwide, the scope of the international exhibition has drastically changed from its beginning days.

Encompassing two main islands and a region on the mainland, Xiamen is a port city on China’s southeast coast, across a strait from Taiwan. With its location near the sea and more than 12,000 stone-related companies in the surrounding region, Xiamen has become an important player in the stone industry.

Since its inception 18 years ago, the fairgrounds has drastically grown in size – currently encompassing approximately 1.9 million square feet – and each year the show’s traffic continually increases.

A delegation of 41 members of MIA+BSI: The Natural Stone Institute attended the Xiamen Stone Fair, which was held from March 6 to 9, 2017 in Xiamen, China. This was the second year MIA+BSI participated at the exhibition, and participants were eager to experience the trade show, and Chinese culture.

Scheduled from March 6 to 9, 2017 in Xiamen, China, the Xiamen International Stone Fair continues to build upon its success and strengthen its position as a leading educational and networking event for stone industry professionals.

MIA+BSI will provide education and networking at the 16th China Xiamen International Stone Fair, scheduled for March 6 to 9, 2016 in Xiamen, China.
