From August 8th to 11th, the 15th China International Animation Copyright Fair (ACTIF) is scheduled to take place at the China Art Toy Center (CATC) in Shipai Town, Dongguan, marking the first time the event has been hosted in Shipai Town. Inside the venue, trendy toy sculptures and blind boxes are everywhere. E-commerce live streaming rooms and meeting rooms are ready, and booths are undergoing final setup, creating a vibrant and youthful atmosphere.

With the theme "Ride the Wave of Dreams", this year's fair covers a total exhibition area of 26,400 square meters, a 27% increase from last year. It has attracted over 600 enterprises and institutions from more than 40 countries and regions, featuring over 2,000 IPs, the highest number in the fair's history, which offers a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and trends in the film and animation industry.

The fair features five major exhibition halls, including the Global Film & Animation Screening Hall and the IP Licensing Exchange. Industry exchange activities such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Animation Film Week and Venture Capital Conference, as well as over ten industry matchmaking events such as "AI + Animation" forums and China Animation Going Global Matchmaking Sessions will also be held.

For the public, the event features dozens of interactive activities, including Hanfu and cosplay parades, ACG-themed script-based roleplays and Honor of Kings e-sports competitions. All activities are free of charge, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the charm of anime.

As the core of the "Capital of Trendy Toys" in China, Shipai Town is the leading force in the trendy toy industry in Dongguan, accounting for 30% of the city's total output value, with the highest concentration of trendy toy companies and independent brands. The choice to host the fair in Shipai Town further affirms its industrial strength.

There are also plenty of fun activities nearby, including taking photos with giant trendy toy sculptures, making custom chocolates at the Chocolate Museum, trying your luck at the "Gacha" capsule toy hub, or exploring the Creative Trendy Toy Market in Chuanlongpu Leisure Park—a must-visit destination. During the fair, free shuttle services and four themed "Trendy Toy Buses" will be available for visitors to experience.
