香港会议展览中心(会展中心) Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
于1988年11月开幕。自此以后，香港的贸易展览事业蒸蒸日上，奠定香港成为亚洲区贸易活动中心的地位并成为举足轻重的国际会议举办地点。
会展中心位于景致迷人、名闻中外的维多利亚港上。会展中心之业权由香港贸易发展局及香港政府共同拥有。政府委托香港贸易发展局负责会展中心的发展、设计及管理事宜。香港贸易发展局已与香港会议展览中心（管理）有限公司（简称“会展管理公司”）签订了会展中心的管理及营边f议。会展管理公司乃新创建集团有限公司(股份代号：0659）的全资附属机构。
拥有超过830名员工的会展管理公司，透过提供一级的服务以及采用先进与创新的操作技术，致力使会展中心成为亚洲最佳展览及会议场馆，并以提供卓越服务及举办环球盛事而驰名国际。
自会展中心开幕以来，使用率不断上升；扩建工程亦已于1997年6月完成，主要场地总面积较前增加逾一倍。扩建后的会展中心令香港作为亚洲贸易活动中心的地位进一步推向廿一世纪。
扩建工程共耗资48亿港元（6.20亿美元，1997币值），其中填海工程于1994年6月展开。1988年会展中心开幕时的建筑成本为16亿港元（2.07亿美元,1986年币值），这数字并不包括地价在内。
会展中心现时的总面积达248,000平方米（267万平方尺），其中超过七万平方米（753,474平方尺）可供租用。因应会展中心现有及新客户对展览场地的要求，会展中心的第二期扩建工程于2006年7月开始施工。工程将于2009年竣工，届时将为会展中心增加19,400平方米的展览场地，使展览场地增至83,000平方米，而中心可租用的总面积将接近九万平方米。
The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) opened in November 1988, after which Hong Kong's exhibition industry experienced a period of rapid growth enabling Hong Kong to establish its position as Asia's trade fair capital and a premier international convention and meeting location.
The HKCEC, located on the magnificent and renowned Victoria Harbour, is owned by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (TDC) and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. The TDC is entrusted by Government to be responsible for the Centre's development, design and management. The TDC has contracted with Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (HML) for management and operation of the Centre. HML is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NWS Holdings Ltd (Stock Code: 0659 HK).
The mission of HML, with a staff team of over 830, is to position the HKCEC as the best exhibition and convention centre in Asia internationally renowned for excellence and hosting the world's greatest events, supported by innovative and creative operating techniques.
Having experienced escalating demand from its time of opening, the HKCEC was expanded in June 1997 over doubling its prime function space. The expanded venue further strengthened Hong Kong's leading position as Asia's trade fair hub and assuring that Hong Kong could successfully meet the growing demand for space into the 21st century.
The total project cost of the expansion which opened in 1997 was HK$4.8 billion (US$620 million, in 1997 dollars) including site reclamation which began in June 1994. The cost of the HKCEC at opening in 1988 was approximately HK$1.6 billion (US$207 million, in 1986 dollars), not including land cost.
The HKCEC presently totals 248,000 sq m (2.67 million sq ft) with over 70,000 sq m (753,474 sq ft) of rentable function space. With the growing demand of exhibition space from HKCEC's current clients and potential new clients, HKCEC's second expansion began in July 2006. Upon the completion in 2009, the expansion will add 19,400 sq m to the HKCEC bringing total exhibition space to nearly 83,000 sq m and total rentable function space close to 90,000 sq m.
