The Status Quo

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) organizes some of Asia's most prestigious trade shows, summits, and conferences. Each event presents unique operational challenges—from massive public attendance to high-level diplomatic gatherings.

The Hong Kong Book Fair attracts up to 890,000 visits over 7 days with extreme morning rush peaks. The Belt and Road Summit brings together ministers and senior officials requiring secure credential management. MarketingPulse hosts 13,000+ participants with VIP-heavy flows and multi-track session access.

HKTDC needed a single event technology partner capable of handling the full spectrum of requirements across these flagship events.
