Informa Markets has announced that Super Terminal Expo will make Hong Kong its home from November 2024. It is strongly supported by Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK).
Vivian Cheung, Acting Chief Executive Officer of AAHK, said “We are especially excited about this partnership. It is the result of our proactive efforts to bring this mega-event to Hong Kong, which will not only bring new ideas and business opportunities for our aviation and transportation sector, but also benefit the wider economy of Hong Kong and further promote Hong Kong’s attraction to major global events.”
Hong Kong’s strategic position as a leading multi-modal transportation hub, featuring unparalleled access to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and wider regions, makes it the perfect venue for Super Terminal Expo. This decision by Informa Markets comes at a time when the global exhibition market is on the cusp of significant growth, with the Asia-Pacific region, particularly ASEAN, Hong Kong, and the GBA, showing promising opportunities for international exhibitions and trade shows.
Super Terminal Expo 2024 will be held at AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE). Situated in the heart of the GBA and seamlessly connected to Hong Kong International Airport, AWE provides a convenient and central location for the event. This accessibility is crucial for attracting a diverse range of industry leaders, fostering a rich exchange of ideas at the event.
“With over 300 billion US dollars earmarked for the development and upgrading of airports across Asia, the timing of hosting Super Terminal Expo couldn’t be more perfect,” said Michael Duck, EVP Commercial Development, Informa Markets. “Super Terminal Expo will serve as a crucial platform for stakeholders to stay abreast of and contribute to the advancements in airport development and cutting-edge technology.”
