Beijing today is no longer a consumer hardship posting for expatriates. The opposite, there is a wide and very diverse range of products and services available. In fact there is now so much choice that at times it is hard to know what to buy or which service provider to use.
The ELAs have been designed so that the Expatriate community can show their support for their preferred vendors. The winning vendor will be able to proudly confirm to new arrivals and old hands alike that they were awarded an ELA in recognition of the quality of their services.
The 2014 ELAs will be granted to over 20 categories of service providers.
The winners will be decided by an on-line voting mechanism which will permit each valid email address to vote only once.
The Expat Life Award Ceremony and the Expat Fair will be held on Sunday 21 September 2014 in the Hilton Beijing.
The Expat Fair is a day-long activity to showcase the best providers of services and products of interest to Beijing's foreign population. It will be held in the Hilton Beijing on 21 September, 10:00am – 18:00pm.
It is organized by Expats for Expats and includes a diverse range of vendors ranging from the "Wow! Never knew I could get that in Beijing" through to some of Beijing's best known and favorites.
The Expat Fair is open to the public and there is no admission charge.
