The exhibition venue was chosen in Changsha city of Hunan province, not in Shanghai as an international metropolis, so some people were worried that maybe the amount of exhibitors and the exhibition area will decrease. In fact, lots of exhibitors have much confident with this exhibition, they actively registered to attend the exhibition, the amount of exhibitors increased 2.1% than 2009. The exhibition’s booth area was 8800 square meters, it increased 2.75% than 2009. Custom-built booths were 2/3 of the total exhibition area. During the fair period, the Weighing Technology Seminar, China Weighing Instrument Association 2010 Annual Meeting, and the meetings of CWIA Technical Expert Committee, CWIA Professional Committee of Rail Weighbridge, CWIA Professional Committee of Vocational Education were convened.

The opening ceremony of the InterWeighing2010 was held at 9:30am on April 22 in the square in front of the exhibition hall.

The InterWeighing2010 focused on showing the newest weighing technology and products R&D by exhibitors from around the world, which include all kinds of scales, balance, weighing system, indicator, load cell, testing instrument and device, electronic component and materials used in weighing instrument. These exhibits reflected the latest technological achievements of weighing industry in today's world, meanwhile, showed current development level of weighing industry in today's China. The exhibition also had been concerned of many users of weighing instruments. Many business people from metallurgy, chemicals, machinery, transportation, food, oil and other industrial systems, who used weighing instruments a lot, came to visit the exhibition in succession. Many trade companies and distributors came to the exhibition for trade talks with the exhibitor.

This strongly strengthens economic & technological exchanges and cooperation between China and international weighing industry. Made a tremendous contribution to introduce advanced technology and equipment for China weighing enterprises, to promote the production, process, technology advances, to speed up the adjustment of product structure, and to promoting the trade development. In recent years, in addition to being in 2009 global financial crisis there is a little decline in profits, China's annual exports of weighing products increase at a double-digit growth rate. In 2009, according to China Customs statistics, the export of weighing products has reached USD690 millions.
