China hosts a large and growing number of international conferences in engineering, materials science, computing, energy, medicine and environmental science. ConferenceInc lists upcoming conferences in China for 2026–2027 across Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chengdu and other cities.
Many conferences in China are organised with universities and publish proceedings with international publishers, which makes them popular with researchers presenting papers in engineering and computer science.
ConferenceInc currently lists 26 upcoming conferences in China across 11 cities. The busiest conference city is Sanya (10 events), followed by Hangzhou, Chengdu and Guiyang.
The most common fields are Engineering and Technology, Health and Medicine and Business and Economics. The busiest month is December 2026 with 9 events. The next event is Energy Informatics Academy Conference 2026 on 14 October 2026 in Beijing.

China has extended visa-free entry for short stays to citizens of a growing list of countries and offers visa-free transit for eligible travellers.

Best time to go: Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) are the most comfortable; avoid Chinese New Year and the October Golden Week holiday.
