ITE 2026

ITE 2026 will be held from March 30 to April 1, 2026 at the Beijing National Convention Center, providing three intensive trade days for supplier discovery, technical benchmarking and negotiation in irrigation and smart agriculture. The event is positioned as a global digital agriculture and irrigation industry exchange conference, and the official communications highlight a structured approach to business docking through initiatives such as cooperation planning and matchmaking-oriented services. For buyers, the timeframe and venue model support a practical workflow: screening solutions on day one, deep technical and commercial discussions on day two, and final alignment on day three, which is especially important when procurement decisions depend on both agronomy outcomes and infrastructure constraints such as water availability, pumping energy, filtration requirements and lifecycle maintenance.

The exhibition scope is structured around four major areas: water-saving irrigation, digital agriculture, modern facility agriculture and modernization of irrigation-area construction, covering the full chain and process of industry development from field-level application to systems integration. This structure is commercially useful because real projects typically require a combined solution set rather than a single product, for example integrating fertigation and filtration with sensing, monitoring, control platforms and greenhouse or protected-farming infrastructure. The event’s thematic framing emphasizes “world digital agriculture feast and technology exploration,” which aligns with the practical goals of improving water-use efficiency, stabilizing yields, and enabling data-driven farm management for both large irrigation districts and intensive production enterprises.

The 2026 edition is promoted as an international marketplace featuring an exhibition area of 30,000 square meters and showcasing solutions from 800 enterprises across 33 countries and regions, with participating companies including global leaders such as Fortune 500 and listed firms. The event is projected to attract more than 35,000 professional buyers, including provincial-level agriculture authorities, agricultural reclamation groups, and operational management centers of large-to-medium irrigation districts, which indicates a buyer profile aligned to real procurement and implementation. This visitor structure matters for exhibitors and professional attendees because irrigation projects often require multi-party decision-making, where technology selection must be validated against policy requirements, funding logic and demonstrable performance metrics in the field.

ITE 2026 is positioned to concentrate innovative products and high technologies for smart agriculture and water-saving irrigation, enabling buyers to compare solutions across the full deployment stack. In practical terms, this typically includes irrigation systems and components, water and fertilizer integration, filtration and pumping, valves and control, irrigation scheduling and automation, as well as digital platforms that connect sensors and on-farm operations to decision support and farm management workflows. Because the show is designed as a trade event with international participation, it also supports vendor qualification discussions around deployment cases, service capacity, spare parts strategy and training, all of which are critical to ensuring that a solution remains stable during peak seasons and under variable water quality conditions.

The venue is the Beijing National Convention Center (CNCC), a large-scale convention and exhibition facility that supports both a conference program and a structured exhibition floor within the same trip, which is operationally important for decision-making teams that need to align technical, commercial and policy perspectives. The official schedule indicates that the event runs from March 30 to April 1, 2026 in Beijing, and the conference-and-expo format encourages visitors to combine knowledge capture from forums and key sessions with direct supplier engagement on the exhibition floor. For international suppliers and buyers, CNCC also supports delegation-style attendance and scheduled meetings, which improves the efficiency of multi-supplier comparison and reduces the time required to move from discovery to a qualified shortlist.

ITE 2026 is jointly sponsored by sector institutions including the China Agricultural Water Saving and Rural Water Supply Technology Association, the China Agricultural Reclamation Water Saving Agricultural Industry Technology Alliance, the Beijing Internet of Things Intelligent Technology Application Association, and Zhenwei International Exhibition Group, with additional organizational structure details published by the event’s secretariat. This organizer mix is important because it strengthens both industry relevance and buyer acquisition: associations help attract professional audiences and institutional stakeholders, while a large exhibition organizer supports structured operations, exhibitor services and international promotion. The event is also announced as being held concurrently with a protected agriculture expo, which further expands the visitor pool and strengthens cross-category sourcing opportunities for buyers who work across irrigation, facility agriculture and modern farming infrastructure.
