AsiaWorld-Expo expands its conference capacity


News this week: Earlier this week, AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) unveiled new convention space, named Runway 11 and the Runway Suites series, which will serve to expand the venue’s conference and events capabilities.

The new suites can be arranged into a maximum of 10 rooms - each capable of seating between 80 and 200 people in a theatre configuration. All of the rooms are carpeted and offer excellent sound-proofing as well as a full range of audio-visual technologies.

Allen Ha, CEO of AsiaWorld-Expo Management Limited, commented, “We are pleased that our Runway 11 and Runway Suites series have provided new major convention spaces for Hong Kong and are very much welcomed by the MICE industry with a view to attracting more international conferences and events to Hong Kong. In the financial year of 2011-2012, the number of large-scale EXPOtainment events hosted at the venue and the total metreage sold increased by over 20%. Looking ahead, we expect to sustain strong growth throughout 2012.”
