Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC)

Address: Hong Kong, China.

The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) opened in November 1988, after which Hong Kong's exhibition industry experienced a period of rapid growth enabling Hong Kong to establish its position as Asia's trade fair capital and a premier international convention and meeting location.
The HKCEC, located on the magnificent and renowned Victoria Harbour, is owned by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (TDC) and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. The TDC is entrusted by Government to be responsible for the Centre's development, design and management. The TDC has contracted with Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (HML) for management and operation of the Centre. HML is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NWS Holdings Ltd.
The mission of HML, with a staff team of over 850, is to position the HKCEC as the best exhibition and convention centre in Asia internationally renowned for excellence and hosting the world's greatest events, supported by innovative and creative operating techniques.
Having experienced escalating demand from its time of opening, the HKCEC was expanded in June 1997 over doubling its prime function space. The expanded venue further strengthened Hong Kong's leading position as Asia's trade fair hub and assuring that Hong Kong could successfully meet the growing demand for space into the 21st century.
With the continuous growing demand of exhibition space from HKCEC's current and potential new clients, the HKCEC commenced its second expansion project in May 2006 and completed in April 2009. The project has brought 19400 sqm additional exhibition space to the HKCEC.
The HKCEC presently provides 66000 sq. m of purpose-built exhibition space, 20000 sq. m of multi-functional venues and 5500 sqm of event support space.
