Special pavilions such as the Guangdong Guest Province Pavilion, the International Data Exchange Pavilion, and the Digital Finance Pavilion were also established. These venues served as high-quality platforms for industry networking, supply-and-demand matching, and technology demonstrations, while also offering the public an immersive digital technology experience.

The 26 industry exchange forums focused on key current issues and emerging trends in the data field, with comprehensive discussions covering the theoretical framework of the token economy, token talent cultivation, and overseas expansion strategies for the token economy. The forums covered the entire token economy process, from theoretical development to practical application.

To foster closer ties between exhibitions and industry, the expo established an "industry ecosystem corridor" as a connection hub, connecting with leading enterprises like Huawei to host over 10 industry ecosystem events, engaging with more than 100 high-growth companies for supply-demand matchmaking, linking four domestic specialized industrial parks, and bringing together over 30 overseas enterprises for multiple cross-border matchmaking sessions.

Six brand competitions were held during the expo, attracting 3,078 teams and over 10,000 participants. Among them, four competitions completed their preliminary rounds before the expo and held roadshows and award ceremonies during the event.

The 2026 China Drone Soccer League (Guiyang Stop) focused on the integrated development of the "sports + technology + digital + low-altitude" sectors, building a platform for all-age participation and promoting tech-enabled sports to the public and into daily life.

The Colorful Guizhou Guikesong AI Application Scenario Co-creation Competition sought implementable AI solutions for industries such as cultural tourism, alcoholic beverage, energy, and public services.
