COVID-19 Measures

Although we sincerely hope that we can host the event physically for better idea exchanges and networking, we will closely follow the developments regarding the coronavirus (e.g., trends of daily confirmed cases, government regulations etc.) and review our decision regularly.

In addition to following the guidelines on Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) for Event Organiser of Mass Assembly published by the Center of Health Protection of HK and also taking reference from the WHO’s advices regarding hosting public events, our on-going risk assessment will take into account the event format, capacity, seating arrangement, and timing etc. We are open to all options, such as postponement, limiting the physical audience size, switching to fully virtual etc., to ensure the safety and health of our delegates, guests, speakers, exhibitors, supporting organisations and employees. Any major changes to the event arrangement will be notified to our registered delegates via email.

We are also in close communications with the HKCEC to ensure that the suitable extra health and safety measures are carried out in social distancing, cleanliness of public facilities (such as escalator handrails, door handles, lift buttons, glass railings etc.), availability of sanitizing amenities, F&B arrangement, ventilation, and availability of isolation facilities etc.

We will also provide self-service check-in on arrival as well as the badge scanning feature for exhibition booths to replace business card exchanging and to minimize non-essential physical contacts. We will also provide live streaming of the sessions, for those who are unable to attend the event physically.
