This high-profile occasion features a lavish award ceremony, conference and seminar and gala dinner , all hosted at AsiaWorld-Summit, and all drawing on the acclaimed culinary and event planning expertise of AsiaWorld-Expo. To complete the experience, AsiaWorld-Summit has collaborated with the Hong Kong Tourism Board to arrange for a stunning performance of traditional lion dance for all 1,200 delegates to experience the unique culture of the modern East-meets-West Hong Kong.

“AsiaWorld-Summit was the perfect choice for our event,” remarked Mr Masaki Homma, President, DIANA Co.
