Hong
Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
History
& Facts
Opened in 1988, Hong Kong Convention
and Exhibition Centre managed and operated by the Hong
Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Management Limited,
is a member of NWS Holdings Limited (Stock code: 0659.HK).
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.
