HKCEC Introduction (MOV [Quicktime] format)

About Convention and Exhibition Centre

Opened in 1988, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) managed and operated by the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Management Limited. The addition of the HK$4.8 billion (US$620 million) Extension in 1997, which over doubled our size, has today created one of the world's most impressive, efficient and functional meeting and exhibition venues.

A massive aluminium roof captures the rhythm and delicacy of a seabird's wing. The world's tallest glass wall opens onto fantastic vistas of Hong Kong's famed harbour. A versatile, world-class venue offers gracious service and unbeatable facilities in the business heart of one of the world's greatest and most forward-looking cities.

Catch the mood -
     sense the scale -
        look at what we can offer.

Overlooking famed Victoria Harbour, the Centre is conveniently linked by covered walkways to adjacent luxury hotels, including the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel. Also close are the MTR - Hong Kong's modern subway system - the airport bus, city buses and ferries, banking, the main post office, and all the shopping and entertainment that Hong Kong is famous for.
