Direct answer
Start with fixed meeting dates and hotel zone, then plan airport transfers, payment setup, local support and any short China extension around those constraints.
What to know
- ●Book Shenzhen hotels and private transfers earlier than usual because major events can compress availability.
- ●Keep meeting-day sightseeing light; add Hong Kong, Guangzhou or Guilin before or after the busiest event dates.
- ●Check China entry rules, Hong Kong transit plans and payment setup before locking nonrefundable transport.
