We are pleased to invite you to exhibit with Team BC at the China Education Expo (CEE) 2015 from October 25–November 1, 2015. This year, the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) will host Canada Pavilions in four CEE cities, which will help elevate institutional and district profiles in first- and importantly key second-tier cities in China. The TCS continues to emphasize the importance of a sustained Canadian education presence in second-tier cities and this year’s Canada Pavilion expansion demonstrates that commitment.
With support from the Provincial Government and the BC Ministry of International Trade, BCCIE will be coordinating a major branded BC presence in the Canada Pavilions and in value-added events for BC exhibitors around the Fairs.

**In addition to BC branding in the BC Zone of the Pavilion, BCCIE is planning value-added events around the Fair, including agent meetings, receptions and orientation, site visits and partnership development meetings and networking. There is no additional change to participate in these initiatives but BC institutions must confirm their attendance for all events.
BC districts, schools and institutions will continue to be part of the Canada Pavilion but those who choose to be a part of Team BC will be concentrated in one high-profile area of the Canada Pavilion, and we will be using BC-specific signage and branding of Team BC booths to complement the Imagine au/in Canada Brand and Pavilion. We will also be distributing BC education collateral as well as directing traffic to the site and Team BC members through StudyinBC.com and our newly launched Weibo and WeChat media platforms.
As an incentive to join Team BC, your participation will grant you entrance as well as invitations for guests, agents, partners and friends of BC to the Team BC receptions in select cities, as well as to school and partner visits and roundtables as interest allows. We also anticipate the presence of senior colleagues and members of the provincial government to be on hand at some events and fair sites.
Team BC participants are also welcome to participate in the events facilitated by the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service.
