The greatly expanded Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre has entered into service with astounding success.
The centre is already meeting its objectives of providing world-class public assembly facilities for even greater international meetings and exhibitions as well as hosting major special events of international significance.
There is confidence that the centre, now enhanced by its magnificent extension, will retain into the 21st century its reputation as Asia's premier venue 'where the world exhibits' and 'where the world meets'.
In only two months since opening the centre's extension, history is being made. As evidenced by the tremendous success of Hong Kong's main handover ceremonial events, the 9th Assembly of Lutheran World Federation and the 8th Annual Hong Kong Book Fair, which over 350,000 people attended, the expanded centre is functioning brilliantly.
The prestigious World Bank Group/International Monetary Fund annual meetings are now under way, again establishing an historic milestone for the centre.
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (HML) is a professional management and operating company under contract with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council to provide all management, administration, marketing, booking, maintenance and other operations of the centre.
A staff of more than 1,000 proudly serves to fulfil the centre's objectives, including enhancing trade in Hong Kong and hosting events that have a positive impact on Hong Kong's economy.
