What Ace Events does

Ace Events is a Shanghai-headquartered professional business conference and event organization company operating under 上海犀象会展服务有限公司 (Shanghai Xixiang Exhibition Service Co., Ltd.) with a parallel Hong Kong entity, Ace Events Limited. Founded in 2019, the company runs the ACE Supply Chain Innovation Summit series that has been active since 2015, producing 15 annual flagship conferences and 40+ sub-sector summits focused on two verticals: supply chain management and new energy (energy storage, photovoltaics, wind, batteries, new energy vehicles, smart cars, energy internet). The company self-positions as 'China's Gartner Supply Chain Conference,' serving enterprise decision-makers (CPOs, CSCOs, COOs) with a speaker roster that has included senior executives from Volkswagen, Siemens, P&G, Volvo Cars, ZTE, Pop Mart, KONE, Jiahui Health, CP Group, and Semir.

The core product portfolio comprises four offerings: the flagship ACE Supply Chain Innovation Summit (ACE2026 is the 16th edition), the ACE Awards (爱思奖) annual industry recognition program, the ACER圈 (ACER Hub) private professional community platform covering 50,000+ core supply chain professionals with 200,000+ platform reach, and ancillary expo services (booth, speech, 1-on-1 matchmaking, training, lighthouse factory visits). The technology stack is non-proprietary — the underlying platform is a content/community/events business with no disclosed AI, API, or software products.

Ace Events generates revenue through four streams: attendee registration fees for summits and conferences, multi-tier enterprise sponsorship packages (booth, speech, interstitial, lanyard, information bag) sold on multi-year contracts via direct enterprise field sales, exhibition booth fees from 50+ technology and innovation exhibitors, and training/workshop fees for pre-summit programs and post-summit lighthouse factory visits. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct enterprise sales with dedicated sales contacts, complemented by WeChat public account, official bilingual website, and the ACER圈 community for ongoing engagement.
