How to use 参展
参展 is used for companies, artists, or countries that bring products or works to an exhibition, fair, or trade show. It often appears in formal or business contexts, as in 参展商 (cānzhǎnshāng, exhibitor). Example: 今年有三百家公司参展。(Jīnnián yǒu sānbǎi jiā gōngsī cānzhǎn.) This year three hundred companies are exhibiting.
Take 参 (cān) from 参加 (cānjiā, to take part) and add 展 (zhǎn), the 展 in 展览 (zhǎnlǎn, exhibition). To 参展 is to take part in a show by putting your own things on display.
Common mistake: Learners often confuse 参展 with 参观 (cānguān). 参展 means you exhibit at the show, while 参观 means you visit it as a guest. Also note that 参 here is read cān, not shēn as in 人参 (rénshēn, ginseng).
