Exhibitors and buyers from around the world cast their vote of confidence in Hong Kong as they came to the city for a series of trade fairs that went into full swing from September onwards.
Hong Kong’s dominant position as the Trade Fair Capital of Asia is undiminished, with visitors happy with their decisions to come. They found the city to be very safe, normal and comfortable, with the fairs very well organised. They also appreciate the convenience of doing business with exhibitors from many countries under one roof.
'Our exhibition scene is very well established, and we have a long history of hosting world-class trade fairs. Both hard and soft infrastructure are second to none, and Hong Kong remains the ideal destination for business exchange and deal-making.'
Stuart Bailey,
Chairman, Hong Kong Exhibition & Convention Industry Association
Plenty of diverse trade shows will continue to be staged in the coming months. Check out the event calendar at the MEHK website, and see you in Hong Kong.

Several high-profile conferences held since September brought thousands of high-flying participants to Hong Kong. The Belt and Road Summit saw stellar support, with more than 5,000 political and business elites from over 60 countries and regions assembled on 11-12 September to discuss the opportunities generated under the Initiative.
Hong Kong continued to stage some of Asia’s most prestigious events successfully in the past few months. Influential key players and C-suite executives gathered to network, strengthen existing relationships, and orchestrate deals at the 30th edition of the Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific (HICAP) on 23-25 October. Digital Media Asia 2019 (DMA), Asia’s largest digital media conference, returned to the city for the fourth time on 29-31 October, drawing industry heavyweights from around the world to share latest trends.
