Retail Asia Expo & Congress was an enormous success last June in Hong Kong serving the Asia Pacific retail sector – the world’s largest and fastest growing.

The two expos – Retail Technology and Retail Design & In-Store Marketing - are more than doubling in size for 2010. These will continue to be owned and run by Diversified Events Hong Kong LLC.

Retail Asia Congress, Asia’s leading congress and gathering place for retail senior executives, run jointly since 2008 will, from the 2010 event, be run independently by Beacon Events. The expos and congress will continue to cooperate closely and run at the same time.

In commenting, Stuart Bailey, General Manager of Diversified Events Hong Kong said “half way through the sales cycle, the Expo is already larger than the show last year and continues to generate significant exhibitor interest. We therefore felt the need to concentrate all our efforts on ensuring the Expo experience is the best it can be, leaving Beacon to fully exploit the success and potential of the Congress.”
