IESD Events
The 4th Shanghai International Surfactant Forum
April 27, 2027 | On-site Meeting Room, Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing
After 16 years of deep cultivation in the industry, the core concurrent event of the 2027 International Exhibition on Surfactants & Detergents (IESD China 2027) – the 4th Shanghai International Surfactant Forum – is officially announced! The forum will take place on April 27-29, 2027 at the Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing. As the premier supporting forum for the leading professional exhibition on surfactants and detergents, this event leverages the full industry chain resource advantages of the exhibition. Upholding the high standards and professional excellence of previous forums, it will collaborate with over 200 industry media outlets, 300+ exhibitors, and nearly 10,000 professional visitors. The forum aims to break down barriers between industry, academia, research, and application, focus on core industry pain points and critical turning points, inject strong momentum into high-quality industry development, and serve as a key bellwether driving innovation and upgrading in the surfactant industry.
From green surfactants to cross-sector applications, and from policy interpretation to technological implementation, this forum is guided by the principle of "Precision Breakthroughs, Collaborative Empowerment." It will cover all core topics across the industry spectrum, ensuring that every participant gains practical insights, connects with resources, seizes opportunities, and explores new industry frontiers through the collision of ideas.
