The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) has solidified its status as a premier venue for international events, hosting 786 events during the financial year 2024-2025, which attracted over 7.8 million attendees. This included 120 exhibitions and 90 conferences, covering diverse topics such as fintech, sustainability, and medical science.
Among these, 11 new exhibitions and 20 new conferences were held at the HKCEC for the first time. Notable events included the Consensus Hong Kong 2025, which drew nearly 10,000 attendees from 102 countries, with 75% coming from outside Hong Kong. This event alone contributed an estimated $35.26 million (HK$275 million) to the local economy.
Monica Lee-Müller, Managing Director of Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited, expressed pride in the centre’s achievements, stating, “I’m proud that our targeted business development strategy, and the efficiency and professionalism of our operation workforce, have enabled us to secure several new exhibitions as well as retaining many long-established ones.”
Looking ahead, the HKCEC is set to host more significant events, including the Greater Bay Area Education and Talent Expo 2025 in October and the 9th World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery in December, expected to attract 3,500 medical experts. The inaugural LEAP East, an Asian edition of the Middle East’s flagship tech trade fair, is also scheduled for July 2026. These events are anticipated to further bolster Hong Kong’s reputation as a global hub for international gatherings.
