Hong Kong is home to Broadsword Asia Pacific, the APAC operations of our award winning event agency, as well as an exciting destination for inspiring exhibitions, meetings, and events. Here’s why the city should be the top choice for your next event destination in APAC. 

1 — Venue Choice

At two thirds the size of London, Hong Kong makes use of the space with purpose-built conference centres and it’s stunning skyline, made up of vertical space. There are many hotels and venues with world-class views such as the newly opened Henderson Building — a 39 storey skyscraper featuring a glass ceiling ballroom at the very top, purpose built for memorable events.


2- Cultural Experiences

Hong Kong is a unique mix of history and modern life, with high-end shopping, countless technology, film, and art exhibitions, and 15 museums each with a specialist focus ranging from ink to opera, and offering private hire spaces. There’s countless choice for you to entertain or reward your attendees with these experiences, or give participants some downtime soaking up the culture.

Some of the top experiences include taking a tram to The Peak to get the best views of the city, visiting a traditional market, or hopping aboard one of the iconic junk boats such as Aqua Luna, star ferries, or Zuma”s luxury catamaran at Victoria Harbour.

3 — Fine Dining 

With its renowned hospitality, there are 77 Michellin-starred restaurants in Hong Kong and there’s plenty of options when it comes to cuisine. Many of the luxury hotels in Hong Kong house luxury dining experiences such as Langham’s Michelin-starred T’ang Court or an afternoon tea at The Peninsula. If you’re looking for more of the stunning views of the city, there’s Harbourside grill which is available for private hire.


4 — The Heart of Asia

Hong Kong’s central location in Asia provides unmatched access to some of the largest high-growth markets in the region – via one of the world’s most advanced transportation networks. Hong Kong is a global trendsetter, with some fantastic neighbours including Beijing, Singapore, Tokyo, Australia, and Bangkok — all of which Broadsword Asia Pacific offer services across. 

5 — Vibrant Nightlife

When the sun sets in your waterside venue, the city will transform. There’s no end of rooftop bars to choose from, along with night cruises, and the Symphony of Lights, the world’s largest permanent light show that illuminates Victoria Harbour.

If you need another reason, Broadsword is a word-class event agency with an on the ground team of event planners based in Hong Kong and a trusted network of suppliers across APAC, ready to offer you seamless support with your event logistics, creative, and production.
