Record exhibitor number at HKTDC’s jewellery fair

News this week: The 30^th HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show opened with a new exhibitor number record of more than 3,300 from 40 countries and regions. This year’s show runs from 5^th to 9^th March at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).

The jewellery show welcomed first time exhibitors from Cyprus, Lebanon and Peru. A total of 17 group pavilions and seven international trade organisation pavilions are present this year. The show also featured 10 product zones with a newly added Small-Order Zone for small quantity purchasing at prices below US$1,000 per piece.

Additionally, Visa and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) extended their cooperation to provide exhibitors with a new mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) solution. The mPOS solution allows exhibitors to accept credit card payments for sample orders during the show in a secure and convenient manner. The credit card-reader is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones or tablets, which works by converting the mobile device into a secure point-of-sale device.
