Convention & Expo Summit '03
The First Asian Exhibition Forum (28 August 2003, HKCEC, Hong Kong) Mr. Stanley Chu

 

The First Asian Exhibition Forum - "a meeting for the industry after SARS" will be held in Hong Kong on 28 August 2003. The event is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Industry Association (HKECIA), Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Union of International Fairs (UFI), with the full support from the Hong Kong SAR Government. The Forum will also be supported by all the important exhibition associations in Asia and venue associations, such as China Exhibition Centres Association, the World Council for Venue Management, and Asia Pacific Exhibition and Convention Council.

As SARS is now contained in Asia, it is an optimal time for the sharing of experience among professionals in Asia to keep the exhibition industry moving forward with "comeback" plans and strategies.

We will have representatives of the Asian exhibition associations to give country / city reports with focus on their revival plans and actions for the coming six months. A primary objective of the Forum is to formulate ideas for long-term co-operation in the industry among businesses in Asian countries and regions. We anticipate to have over 150 delegates from China and other Asian countries to the Forum on top of the members of UFI who will attend the UFI Asian Pacific Chapter meeting in Hong Kong on 27 August and our Forum on 28 August. All delegates to the Forum will be invited to join a leisure tour to the 120,000 sq. m. exhibition centre under construction in Shenzhen on 29 August.

We welcome you to join this very important event and to demonstrate the solidarity of the industry in Asia.

All international delegates will be provided with favourable and discounted hotel accommodation and travel package to Hong Kong. For more details about the Forum, please visit our website: www.exhibitions.org.hk/forum.

I look forward to seeing you all at the upcoming Asian Exhibition Forum.
