Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) is the city's main purpose-built congress and exhibition complex, on the Wan Chai North waterfront at 1 Expo Drive. Published figures list a Grand Hall of about 3,880 sqm with a 27 m ceiling and a listed seating capacity of around 3,800, two convention halls totalling roughly 5,699 sqm, two theatres seating about 1,000 in total, and 52 meeting rooms. The venue operator cites over 90,000 sqm of rentable space, with exhibition halls of up to about 20,000 sqm. Directory sources differ on some room sizes, so confirm layouts with the centre. For corporate planners it suits international conferences, association congresses, trade-linked events, large plenaries and gala dinners that need breakout rooms, registration foyers and exhibition space on one site. Hotels and the Wan Chai MTR network are close, which simplifies delegate logistics.
