7 minute read


The world is becoming more and more digital today, especially in the world of business. And as much as this can be a good thing, it also means that finding a chance to see and connect with someone face-to-face can be a bit challenging.

As a professional, you are probably aware of how important it is to attend fairs, lectures, and seminars where you meet people from your industry. But what if you are a newcomer to Hong Kong and you don’t know where to look? After all, Hong Kong is not a small region.

Fortunately, there are plenty of business events that you can join in Hong Kong. Read on to find out what events you can attend.

Overview:

InvestHK

InvestHK is a government department that was designed to help establish Hong Kong as the leading international business location in all of Asia.

This department of the government was founded on July 1, 2000, with the aim of attracting economically and strategically important investments. It is responsible for foreign investments and support for overseas businesses that want to expand in Hong Kong.

To help businesses succeed in the city’s economy, InvestHK offers free advice and customized services. Since this department plays host to a wide range of business sectors, you can probably find your own industry in the list below:

  • Financial services
  • Business and professional services
  • Creative industries
  • Consumer products
  • FinTech
  • Information and communications technology
  • Innovation and technology
  • Tourism and hospitality
  • Transport and industrial sector

Therefore, it would definitely be wise to check out InvestHK events and see if you can find an attractive event for your business.

Hong Kong Trade Development Council

A statutory body established way back in 1966, the goal of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is to promote, assist, and develop the region’s trade.

It has around 50 offices globally with 13 located in Mainland China. These all operate with a single goal in mind — promoting Hong Kong as a two-way global investment and business hub.

You will be glad to learn that the HKTDC organizes international exhibitions, conferences, and business missions with the aim of creating business opportunities both for big businesses and individuals looking for good job opportunities.

The council also stays up to date with market insights and product information through trade publications, research reports, and digital news channels.

The HKTDC organized more than 300 promotion activities and over 610 networking events last year. Almost every industry was covered and the council promised to do even more in the future.

Similar to InvestHK, the HKTDC also wants to showcase the region’s strengths and promote the region as Asia’s central business district and lifestyle trendsetter.

HKTDC events are definitely something you should consider attending, since many big names are present at their business events.

Eventbrite

Even though Eventbrite is not a local company, this event organization giant also plays an important role in Hong Kong.

Eventbrite is a website that allows you to browse, create and promote events. The service only charges a fee to event organizers in exchange for online ticketing services but if the event is free, there is no charge for attendees. If you would like to browse, there is nothing that can stop you. Just find Eventbrite Hong Kong events online and start looking for your perfect fit.

Just remember to set a location filter and that is it. It doesn’t matter if you are a local or a new face in town, there are loads of great tips and events waiting for you. If you would like to see the most popular events in Hong Kong, just scroll down and you will have a list of events. The website is super-intuitive and easy to navigate, so you should have no problem figuring it out.

Meetups

Meetups is another great option if you are looking for great events. This service allows you to join different business groups and attend their events. Meetup was founded in 2002 and its key goal is to organize online groups that host in-person events. This is meant to gather people of similar interests and connect them.

The website experienced a major redesign in 2013 and it reached 25.5 million users. When it comes to Hong Kong, there is a huge user base that regularly uses Meetup to host events.

The events hosted through this service usually take place on evenings and weekends. Meetup Hong Kong events are no different.

Meetup groups are run by approximately 140,000 organizers and any Meetup user can be an organizer. As an organizer, you can set up groups, organize events, and develop event content.

Events organized by coworking spaces

More and more coworking spaces take the role of organizing meet-ups and similar events where professionals from various industries come to discuss various topics and share ideas.

Hong Kong coworking spaces follow this trend too. Let’s take a look at a few coworking spaces whose events you should definitely check out.

Garage Society

The Garage Society is a serviced co-workspace and business hub based in Central Hong Kong. It is located at Des Voeux Road Central next to Central Hong Kong station. This organization offers something for everyone — even if you want to use the space on an ad hoc basis all the way to your private desk with permanent office space.

The Garage Society also has a mission of connecting professionals through business events where people get together to share ideas, innovate, and learn. The networking events organized by the Garage Society bring value to entrepreneurs seeking to grow their businesses and learn more about the business landscape of the region.

Wrap-up

Investing your time and money to attend a Hong Kong convention, business event, conference, or a job fair relevant to your industry will most certainly pay off – you go home with valuable new connections, insights, tools, and fresh ideas. You can even figure out a new approach that will allow you to become better at what you do.

Even if you are one of those people who don’t believe in the effectiveness of online events, rest assured that attending an online event is better than not attending at all.
