Dear industry colleague,

On behalf of the organizing committee of International Famous Furniture Fair (Dongguan), I would like to extend my warmest invitation to you to visit the 20th 3F from 6-10 September 2008.

This September marks the first time in the history of 3F to hold the autumn fair in September. This is the result of our intention to serve the global community better. The previous autumn fairs are held in August, when most buyers from USA and European countries are having their summer holidays. With the new show dates in September, those buyers can now visit 3F without sacrificing valuable time with their families.

At DFFA, we are very proud that we have served the global furniture and furnishing community for 10 years now and we are very grateful to the attention and tremendous support we have received from you and other international visitors and buyers. That's the driving force behind our continuous efforts to improve ourselves and our services. I and my team are working very hard to bring an even better autumn 3F this September.

Starting from 40,000sqm in 1998, 3F as a semiannual event has increased its size by 6 times over the past 9 years and successfully established itself as the “Representative furniture exhibition” in China. Its has been setting the trend for Chinese furniture industry in the recent years as over 70% of the leading furniture manufactures in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan regard 3F as the must-attend event and an unparalleled platform to launch their latest designs and newest products.

The latest figures are very exciting. 78% of the exhibitors in March 3F have registered their participation in September 3F. Furthermore, nearly 300 new exhibitors have submitted their space application forms by 25 April and the number is still counting. This shows that the new show dates are welcomed by most of the exhibitors. For more information about September 3F, please click here.

I would also like to remind you, as Chinese government is tightening up its VISA issuing to international visitors because of the Olympic Games, to plan your trip to 3F as soon as you can. At DFFA, we are ready to provide you with whatever assistance you may need when planning your trip.

Last but not least, I suggest you to constantly visit our website at www.3f.net.cn/e for the latest updates on 3F.

I wish you a great and enjoyable trip to 3F.

Sincerely yours,


Mr. Yin Chenzhi
President of Dongguan Famous Furniture Association
