VENUE & ACCESS

CONGRESS VENUE

The Congress will be held from 14 - 17 November 2018 at the Hong Kong Science Park, located in the middle of Hong Kong and 40 minutes from Hong Kong International Airport.

 

The Hong Kong Science Park is a world-class research and science complex, which offers venue for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, and also provides a knowledge-based and campus-like environment and features research and development offices and laboratories. One of the most popular structures at the Hong Kong Science Park is the Charles K. Kao Auditorium which has the shape of a golden egg on stilts. The auditorium is named in honor of Prof. Charles K. Kao, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist and the Former Vice-Chancellor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, who pioneered in the development and use of fiber optics in telecommunications.

 

The facilities at Phase 3 have been designed to be carbon neutral over its lifetime, and has won the “2014 Grand Award in Green Building Design” by the Hong Kong Green Building Council.
