TESTIMONIALS I think it was a well-planned and slickly delivered conference without any major issues but one point, there seemed to be more delegates than seats - suggest to make sure there are enough seats for everyone!
It’s interesting to have a specialised façade event as it adds a different dimension and we get to learn different aspects and new trends in the market. Will be great to have you back again in the not too distant future. There is a lot happening in Hong Kong and we welcome such events happening here.
Victoria Cameron Associate - Façades, BuroHappold
Daniel Brown Technical Director, AECOM
So far it has been fantastic. There are a lot of suppliers, clients, architects and inter related disciplines and this gathering allows for useful interaction.
It’s our first time here and we are very surprised with the response. Its more than what we anticipated. They have brought together a great cross section of people. This platform gives us vendors selling into this market completely see all the way through the value chain and the room has been full, so overall a great experience for us.
Florence Chan
Michael Bordeau
Director, KPF
The experience is great. A lot of people from different disciplines have turned up from the architects, client, owner, façade consultant and even contractor as well. So, I would say that this is one of the greatest event in town and will be happy to host this again next year.
VP - Coil, Valspar Corporation
The conference is great. I think next year you need a bigger venue. It’s a full house and I do see different trades. The event is also being sponsored by many of the more reputable brands and suppliers in the industry. I think next time we should try Mainland China.
Johnny Choi
Jeff Tsai
President, Hong Kong Façade Association
I am committed to sponsor the networking cocktail reception to increase the post event time so that all the value chain professionals can unwind and network more relaxed. I wish this event continues to be successful globally and we will be happy to be a global partner in the future.
Associate Director, Arup
I feel honoured that you have included me on the list of the speakers. I have attended many events but this must be the best here in Hong Kong as there are so many people attending, many whom I know and many new faces which is always good. You have gathered the movers of the industry here and keep up the good work.
