Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo (Chinese: 香港國際工業出品展銷會, or in short 工展會) is a large expo of local products held yearly in Hong Kong, at Victoria Park. It is organized by The Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong.
The expo has been held 43 times. The 2008 event had an attendance of 2.16 million people, and took in sales of HK$270 million in its 23 days, which was 20 percent more than in 2007.
In 2004, an additional version of the expo was held outside of Hong Kong for the first time, at the Exhibition Centre in Shanghai.
Famous quotes containing the words brands and/or products:
“On the other side, the conservative party, composed of the most moderate, able, and cultivated part of the population, is timid, and merely defensive of property. It vindicates no right, it aspires to no real good, it brands no crime, it proposes no generous policy, it does not build, nor write, nor cherish the arts, nor foster religion, nor establish schools, nor encourage science, nor emancipate the slave, nor befriend the poor, or the Indian, or the immigrant.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
—Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)
