(Hong Kong, 27 October 2005) – Leading Hong Kong-based trade exhibition organizer, Kenfair International Limited, today announced the opening of the Mega Show Part 2. The 3-day show will run from today to 29 October 2005 at Halls 5 & 7 of the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.
This year’s event houses a total of 825 booths taken up by 715 Asian exhibitors coming from 14 different countries and regions including Australia, China, Hong Kong, France, India, Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, Slovenia, State of Qatar, Israel, U.S.A. and Vietnam.
This is the third year the Group organizes the Mega Show Part 2. To accommodate the over 1,000 companies on the waiting list of the Mega Show Part 1 (“Hong Kong International Toys & Gifts Show” and “Asian Gifts Premium & Household Product Show”), last year, the Group strategically positioned the Mega Show Part 2 as a continuation session of Mega Show Part 1 with an aim of rendering exhibitors more opportunities to directly contact overseas buyers and grow their business. Last year’s Mega Show Part 2 attracted 15,189 trade visitors from all over the world, up 29% when compared to its debut in 2003.
Mr. Herbert Ip, Chairman of Kenfair International, said, “Our Mega Show Part 1, which was successfully concluded last week, expanded to the Tamar Site this year, making the largest-ever trade exhibition in Hong Kong. And the show attracted 66,000 international buyers, speaking volume of its prominent position as an important platform for Asian exhibitors to directly contact overseas buyers.”
“To satisfy the overwhelming demand for exhibition booths, Mega Show Part 2 is strategically scheduled in late October, within the peak-buying season when overseas buyers gather in Asia. As an extension of Mega Show Part 1, the show is an excellent trading platform for exhibitors to meet more overseas buyers directly. For those who are unable to secure an exhibition booth in the Mega Show Part 1, the Mega Show Part 2 makes a golden chance for them to market their products. Backed by our solid base and profound experience, I believe that Mega Show Part 2 will grow steadily in scale and attendance, and become yet another successful event.” Mr. Ip concluded.
