Hong Kong’s flagship exhibition venue is ramping up its line-up of medical, technology, finance and education events this year, including hosting the LEAP East technology show that will be held outside the Middle East for the first time this summer.
The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre said events linked to the four sectors would account for 43 per cent of activities held at the venue in 2026, with the number rising by about 10 per cent year on year.
“Medical, innovation and technology, finance and education have become some of the most prominent keywords in global economic development,” she said, adding that the centre aimed to stay “ahead of the curve” by attracting events tied to emerging sectors.
Several major international medical conferences were scheduled to take place at the venue this year, she said.
Earlier this year, the 41st Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Congress, held alongside the 37th Hong Kong Ophthalmological Symposium, drew more than 10,000 specialists and featured over 300 lectures.
