The 14th China International Animation Copyright Fair (hereinafter referred to as the ACTIF) is set to kick off soon. From October 24 to 27, at Hall 3 of the Guangdong Modern International Exhibition Center in Houjie, Dongguan, get ready for an exciting experience!

As a professional and international exhibition in the field of film and animation copyright, the ACTIF serves as an important platform for showcasing and promoting the high-quality development of China's film and animation industry, having successfully held thirteen years to date.

This year's fair will center around the theme "Come to Dongguan to experience the Chinese pop culture" leveraging the geographical advantages of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It aims to enhance copyright protection and trade, striving to create a high-quality content incubator, an industry development booster, and a brand export driver for China’s film and animation sector.

With a total exhibition area of 20,800 square meters, the expo will feature 1,600 international standard booths. It will bring together original film and animation organizations as well as derivative product manufacturers from multiple countries and regions, with over 300 participating companies and more than 1,500 showcased IPs expected.

This year, ACTIF will be divided into three major areas based on the industry chain: an Original Animation Content Exhibition Area, a Supply Chain and Platform Ecology Exhibition Area, and a Business Trade Channel Exhibition Area. This clear division will provide a more comfortable and efficient viewing experience for attendees. Thirteen industry matchmaking activities will be organized during the event, inviting brands to share their needs, recommend outstanding animation talents, and hold specialized events such as investment promotion and brand recommendation meetings to facilitate thorough exchanges and integration among related industries.

In line with Dongguan's branding as a "Trendy Dongguan" and its unique charm as the "Capital of Art Toys in China," a special area for art toys will be set up, doubling in size compared to the previous fair.
