Consumer Expos

If you have an interest in keeping up with consumer trends, you will find plenty to enjoy in Hong Kong. The city hosts many expos throughout the year at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. Don’t-miss the events for consumers including the Hong Kong Book Fair, Hong Kong Fashion Week, and Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Book Fair regularly attracts over one million visitors. In addition to a wide variety of books, you'll find stationery, audiovisual learning aids, and educational software, with good discounts available. Each edition of the fair has a theme, and in previous years, this has included Chinese martial arts, sci-fi and mystery, and romance literature.

A must-visit for fashionistas, Hong Kong Fashion Week is the place to catch up with the latest trends, attend seminars hosted by industry experts, and check out runway shows from local up-and-coming designers and students.

There’s always a great atmosphere at Ani-Com Games Hong Kong, where anime fans head to the celebrity stage to meet their favourite cosplay stars. There are limited-edition toys to purchase, and you can test-drive the latest video games and catch comic exhibitions.

Other events worth attending include the Hong Kong Computer & Communications Festival, which showcases the latest tech trends, and the Food Expo, where you can attend cooking demonstrations by celebrity chefs and sample global delicacies.
