The world's largest professional exhibition for Apple computer products will be held in Beijing from September 22 to 25.

Macworld Asia 2011 has attracted exhibitors from all over the world.

It is the first time that Macworld has been held outside the US, where it was first staged 25 years ago. Beijing Investment Promotion Bureau and IDG are co-sponsoring the event, which will be run in Beijing annually over the next seven years.

Organizers predict the exhibition will draw 200,000 visitors, including more than 5,000 Mac professionals from overseas.
