2019 VENUE DISCOVERY GUIDE TO CONFERENCE, EXHIBITION & INCENTIVE TRAVEL FACILITIES 2019 CAMPAIGNASIA.COM/CEI US$120 Venue Discovery 2019 SIZE DOES MATTER Even with the proliferation of tech and virtual solutions, we’ve come to learn that the face-to-face element of meetings and events is a mainstay. Physical networking sessions and the consumption of offline content are never going away regardless of how advanced the industry becomes. Surekha Ragavan But one thing that changes in relative to advancements in the industry is what delegates and buyers are expecting in venues. Editor, CEI They want more space, more creativity, more tech, and altogether more choices. Whether we’re talking consumer or B2B trade shows, the formats of content delivery and design norms are “If physical becoming more left-field with show owners and agencies stepping up their game year after year. meets are here Take Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, for instance. The centre expanded by 25% to become Australia’s biggest to stay, they’re events venue, and the space now includes a new Goldfields certainly getting Theatre – a 9,000-sqm multi-purpose event space with a retractable 1,000-seat theatre. With this extra space, the city now bigger and stands as a more competitive events destination. This is also apparent in cities that hold a reputation for smaller better.” meetings such as Kyoto with ICC Kyoto doubling its floor space. The same can be said with leisure hotspot Great Barrier Reef which launched its first events space right on the reef. Let’s not forget the yet-to-open venues that are likely to shift the market in their respective destinations. Shenzen World Exhibition & Convention Centre will become the biggest venue in Asia once it starts operating in 2019, and the impending Guangzhou International Convention Centre will further boost the region’s position as a powerhouse. The same applies to the New Zealand International Convention Centre, which will be the biggest venue in the country once complete. To quote Aloysius Arlando, president of AIPC, from the IBTM World Trends Watch Report: “While competition carries many challenges, it has also stimulated a burst of creative thinking and programming around the role that a convention centre plays in a destination and the kinds of product and service enhancements that create a competitive advantage.” Therefore, the addition of exciting spaces and the continuous upgrading of existing ones goes back to my opening point about face-to-face relationships – if physical meets are here to stay, they’re certainly getting bigger and better. www.cei.asia 3 Venue 2019.indb 3 13/12/18 5:44 pm Venue Discovery 2019 CHANGE IS COMING It would be difficult to overstate how fast the Asian venue landscape is changing. And much of the change here is quite dramatic. The trend toward mega-venues properly kicked-off in 2015 with the opening of NECC in Shanghai’s Hongqiao district which added 400,000sqm of space to the market there. Mark Cochrane Next year, Shenzhen World will open its doors featuring Regional manager, 500,000sqm. To put that in perspective, Japan is Asia’s second UFI Asia-Pacific largest exhibition market and the total venue capacity across all of Japan is less than 370,000sqm. So Shenzhen World would offer more under one roof than Japan does across the country. And those aren’t the only changes in China, but even very large “Overall, across new venues coming online in China seem less dramatic next to NECC and Shenzhen World. In Qingdao in Shandong province, the region, two new venues are being added – Qingdao World Expo City venue capacity (200,000sqm) and Hongdao International CEC (65,000sqm). Meanwhile, Tokyo is headed into a challenging period with the will rise by more disruption around the 2020 Olympics. Tokyo Big Sight (TBS) will be completely closed for about two months during the Olympics. than 11% in The venue will also have significantly reduced capacity throughout two years.” 2019 and 2020. At various points, TBS’ capacity will be down to 23,200 m2, 52,480 m2, and 72,480 m2. It will only return to full capacity in December 2020. On the positive side, when the Olympics are finished, the new addition at TBS will also be complete. At that point, the venue will have a total capacity of 116,000sqm up from the original 80,000sqm. Overall, across the region, venue capacity will rise by more than 11% in two years. While capacity at the end of 2017 was 8.45 mil sqm, at the end of 2019, we expect gross indoor space available to reach almost 9.4 mil sqm. To add, there is finally progress towards building new capacity in India including plans for the refurbishment and expansion of both Pragati Maidan in New Delhi and the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Mumbai. And in the south, the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) is adding 17,500sqm. That will bring its total to 75,000qm, making it the largest venue in India – at least for the time being. With the venue market changing at such a rapid pace, the value of the CEI Venue Guide continues to increase. I have found that this is an essential resource regardless of what type of event you are planning. So keep it close at hand and I am sure you find it useful throughout the year ahead! 4 www.cei.asia Venue 2019.indb 4 13/12/18 5:44 pm CONTENTS ASIA India 44 Kaohsiung 83 Cambodia 6 Bangalore 44 Taichung 83 Venue Phnom Penh 6 Chennai 44 Taipei 84 Siem Reap 6 Hyderabad 45 Sihanoukville 6 Mumbai 46 Thailand 87 Discovery New Delhi 47 Bangkok 87 China 7 Chiang Mai 91 Anhui 7 Indonesia 48 Chiang Rai 92 2019 Hefei 7 Bali 48 Hua Hin 92 EDITORIAL Beijing 7 Jakarta 50 Koh Samui 92 Editor Surekha Ragawan Chongqing 13 Lombok 51 Krabi 93 Assistant Editor Soon Chen Kang Fujian 13 Surabaya 51 Directory manager Karen Wong Pattaya 93 Fuzhou 13 Phuket 94 ADVERTISING Xiamen 13 Japan 52 Brand director Atifa Hargrave-Silk Kyoto 52 Commerical director - North Asia Sonia Young Guangdong 14 Vietnam 97 Commerical director - Southeast Asia Gareth Scott Dongguan 14 Okinawa 52 Danang 97 Sales Administrator May Chan Foshan 14 Osaka 53 Hanoi 97 CIRCULATION Guangzhou 14 Tokyo 54 Ho Chi Minh City 99 Data operations manager Michelle Tai Shantou 16 Hoi An 100 Shenzhen 16 Korea 56 DESIGN Nha Trang 100 Head of design Ben Browning Zhongshan 17 Busan 56 Zhuhai 18 Daejeon 56 Senior art editor Louise Liu AUSTRALASIA & PACIFIC Designer Sandy Chiu Guangxi Gyeongju 56 ISLANDS Guilin 18 Incheon 57 PRODUCTION Australia 101 Production manager Liza Po Guiyang 18 Jeju 57 Australian Capital Hainan 18 Seoul 57 PRINTING Territory 101 Elite Printing Co., Ltd, Room 1401-8, Harbin 19 Ulsan 59 Canberra 101 Hong Man Industrial Centre, 2 Hong Man Street, Henan 20 New South Wales 101 Chaiwan, Hong Kong Zhengzhou 20 Macau 60 Sydney 101 Hubei 20 Regional NSW 104 Wuhan 20 Malaysia 63 Northern Territory 104 Jiangsu 20 Peninsular Malaysia 63 Alice Springs 104 Haymarket Media Ltd.
