Conference Theme – Success, Sustainability and the Future

Understanding past success is often the key to achieving greater success in the future. With this in mind the HKCEC annual conference will take a look at some of Hong Kong’s most successful organisers and find out not only how they made it happen but also ask how their events are likely to evolve in the future. We will also take a look at some hot topics in the industry like waste reduction and find out how the HKRFU managed to halve the amount of waste produced by their annual event. Plus the latest news from Shenzhen where construction of one of the largest exhibition venues on the planet is underway and a look back 20 years at the completion of HKCEC (phase 2) and how a HK icon was created.

Conference Speakers include:
Mr. Stanley Chu, Chairman, Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd.
Mr Daben Mao, Executive Deputy General Manager, Exhibition Operation Center, China Merchants Real Estate (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
Mr. Craig Pepples, CEO, Global Sources
Ms. Monica Lee-Müller, Managing Director, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited
Mr. Robbie McRobbie, Deputy CEO, Hong Kong Rugby Union
