Here are some key reasons to attend the Exhibition and Forum at the
award-winning Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the venue for ITU TELECOM
ASIA 2002:
- The Asia Pacific region is one of the greatest investment opportunities
for anyone in the telecommunication business. And ASIA 2002 is the only
telecommunication event being held this year that is regional, not local,
with every country in Asia expected to be represented.
- ASIA 2002 is your chance to exhibit at the only event in the region which
is combined with a Forum. The ITU TELECOM Forum is the only place in the
world where so many people ranked so highly in their respective companies or
governments can meet one another under one roof to shape the future of the
telecommunication industry. Chief executive officers (CEO), government
ministers, policy-makers, regulators, financiers and technical specialists
will use the Forum at ASIA 2002 to define what is possible and what must be
done in real terms to achieve it.
- ASIA 2002 will be widely covered in local, regional and global media — more than 800 journalists from 437 different broadcasters, press agencies
and publications covered the ASIA 2000 event.
- Event services to exhibitors at ASIA 2002 are unrivalled. They include:
exposure to high-level visitors; marketing activities which increase
awareness of companies’ products and services; advertising opportunities
in the official publications and media services to allow maximum visibility;
access to meeting and hospitality rooms in the venue; press exposure,
documentation services and press conference facilities; and sponsorship
opportunities.
