Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC)
Venue Details
Set in the heart of Wan Chai on Victoria Harbour, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) is one of the city’s most established venues for large-scale exhibitions, international conferences, and live events. Hosting around 1,000 events annually, HKCEC is known for staging high-profile mega exhibitions and delivering end-to-end organiser support — from crowd management and security to technical operations and venue upkeep.
HKCEC offers 91,500+ sqm of rentable space, including six purpose-built exhibition halls with a combined 66,000 sqm dedicated to exhibitions.
Exhibitions and Trade Fairs
Purpose-built halls designed for major fairs and sourcing shows, with strong dock control and logistics support for complex builds. HKCEC is widely used for global-scale exhibitions across jewellery, gifts, toys, houseware, wine & spirits, fashion, licensing, and entertainment markets.
Conferences and Meetings
A complete conference ecosystem — from the Grand Hall, Convention Hall, and two theatres to 52 meeting rooms — supporting capacities of up to ~20,000 delegates (configuration-dependent). Spaces include stage rigging provisions and venue teams experienced in high-profile international conferences.
Entertainment and Ticketed Events
HKCEC also supports concerts, cultural showcases, and special productions, with a retractable seating system up to 3,200 and concert attendance up to 8,000, plus technical capabilities for special effects (e.g., pyrotechnics and laser shows). An appointed ticketing partner can support admission-based events.
Banquets and Catering
An award-winning in-house F&B operation supports everything from gala dinners and corporate cocktails to working luncheons. The venue’s event catering team coordinates menu design, service flow, and presentation at scale — with capacity to serve 5,000+ guests at a single event (venue/configuration dependent).
