With the deepening of reform and opening up, China's Convention and exhibition industry is gradually rising. As a member of the world trade organization, the scale of China’s export trade is expanding year by year. But at the same time, it is also facing the challenge of export structure adjustment and optimization. As an institutional innovation in the field of international trade, exhibition industry will have a profound impact on China’s export trade. In the context of global economic integration, the degree of internationalization of China’s exhibition industry is also gradually rising. Every year, more than 200 exhibitors from different countries come to participate in the exhibition and purchase. This paper is divided into five parts. The introduction introduces the meaning of exhibition and the relationship between exhibition and export trade. The second part is the literature about exhibition. The third part is the situation of exhibition industry in developed countries and the enlightenment to our country. The fourth part introduces the development status of China's exhibition industry, and details the development status of China's provincial and municipal exhibition industry. The SPSS software is used to test the positive correlation between the competitiveness index of exhibition industry and the relevant indicators of export trade. The higher the competitiveness index, the stronger the competitiveness of export trade. The results conclude that the development and prosperity of exhibition industry is conducive to export trade, and export trade can improve the influence of exhibition industry. Suggestions are proposed in coordination between exhibition industry development and export trade development.
