The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) continues to be one of the preferred venues for international organisers staging exhibitions and conferences in Hong Kong. During the fiscal year 2013-2014 (July 2013 to June 2014), a total of 1,086 events were held at the HKCEC, including 112 exhibitions and 32 conferences along with hundreds of corporate meetings, banquets and entertainment events. The combined total of attendees at these 1,086 events and dinners at the HKCEC’s seven restaurants was almost 5.9 million people, including visitors from around the world. Eight of the year’s 112 exhibitions were new at the HKCEC; they included industries as diverse as fine watchmaking, beauty products, and pet supplies. The other 102 exhibitions were recurrent events. In the reporting year, 20 of these recorded double-digit growth in terms of gross exhibition space compared with their previous editions. Conference business continued strong. Among the 32 conferences held at the HKCEC, 26 were international and twelve were new to the venue. (ank)
