News this week: This year UFI (The Global
association of the Exhibition Industry) celebrates the 10th edition
of its Open
Seminar in Asia and the exhibition industry turned out in full force to
mark the occasion. More than 300 delegates from 21 countries and territories
gathered in Hong Kong for Asia’s most important event serving exhibition
industry professionals.
This year, the seminar returned to Hong Kong which also
hosted the inaugural edition in 2006. The seminar was co-hosted by both the Hong Kong Exhibition & Convention
Industry Association (HKECIA) and Hong Kong Tourism Board
(HKTB) and it was held at the Hong
Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).
Paul Woodward, UFI’s Managing Director, stated, “It is
gratifying to see so many senior exhibition industry representatives from
across Asia supporting UFI’s most important event in the region. The scale of
this week’s seminar in Hong Kong is a testament to the strength of the industry
in Asia. Approximately one third of UFI’s global membership is now located in
this region, with more than 220 members across 15 Asian markets. UFI looks
forward to building on this track record of growth and success in the decade
ahead.”
