Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Weather
Hong Kong in November is typically mild and drier than the summer monsoon, with daytime highs around 24-26C (75-79F), overnight lows around 18-20C (64-68F) and average rainfall near 40 mm. The 19-20 November 2026 show dates should be comfortable for walking between Wan Chai hotels and HKCEC, but occasional rain and the tail end of the typhoon season mean you should check the forecast in show week.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Prepaid SIM cards and eSIMs are sold at Hong Kong International Airport and in town; major operators provide 5G coverage across Wan Chai, Central and Tsim Sha Tsui. Hotels listed for the show generally offer free Wi-Fi, and HKCEC exhibitor packages may include connectivity - confirm with the organiser. Hong Kong uses 220V with type G (and some type D) plugs, so bring a universal adapter for laptops and demo equipment.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and business cards
English is widely used in Hong Kong business settings alongside Cantonese and Mandarin. Bilingual business cards help with meetings around the show; present and receive cards with both hands.
Prototype etiquette
Ask before photographing or filming an inventor's prototype. Many AEII entries are pre-patent or commercially sensitive, so respect signs and exhibitor requests.
Octopus card and payments
Octopus is the standard stored-value card for MTR, buses, trams, ferries and small purchases. Credit cards are widely accepted, but keep some cash for small shops and market stalls.
Punctuality and scheduling
Meetings generally start on time. Book slots with exhibitors and tech transfer offices in advance, especially around judging sessions and award announcements.
Dining and hosting
Business meals are common in Hong Kong. Confirm dietary needs in advance; a service charge is often added to restaurant bills, so tipping is not obligatory.
Dress and weather
Business casual or business formal works for the show. November days are mild but air-conditioned halls can feel cool, so a light layer is useful.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: HKG
Book into Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) for the shortest transfer to HKCEC; direct flights are available from major Asian hubs and long-haul gateways. For November 2026, compare fares into HKG rather than Guangzhou or Shenzhen unless you plan a mainland China leg, because cross-border transfers add time. Allow 45-60 minutes for immigration and baggage on arrival, and book the Airport Express or airport bus in advance during busy periods.
Visa or entry-permit requirements for Hong Kong depend on nationality and are administered by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, not mainland Chinese visa rules. Confirm your status on the Immigration Department site before travel.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Captured official sources: Hong Kong Immigration Department visa and entry permit pages and GovHK general visa requirements. Apply early if your nationality requires a visa, and carry your invitation or registration confirmation for the exhibition.
OfficialGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Hong Kong (HKG): Primary international gateway serving Hong Kong.. Allow road or rail time to Entrepreneur Day @ HKTDC; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Entrepreneur Day @ HKTDC: Kowloon (CBD2 business district): Holiday Inn Express Hong Kong Kowloon CBD2; Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island: Holiday Inn Express Hong Kong Causeway Bay by IHG; Jordan, Kowloon: Nathan Hotel Hong Kong.
Ride-hail: Uber operates in Hong Kong alongside local taxi-hailing apps such as HKTaxi and FlyTaxi; ride-hailing availability and regulation can change. For HKCEC, use a licensed taxi or the MTR during peak show hours, and confirm the pickup point with the venue because Harbour Road access is busy.
Public transit: The MTR is the practical backbone: the Island Line stops at Wan Chai and Admiralty next to HKCEC, while the Tsuen Wan Line connects Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. The Airport Express links HKG to Hong Kong Station in about 24 minutes. Use an Octopus card or contactless bank card on MTR, buses, trams and ferries; the HKeMobility app covers routes and fares. The Star Ferry between Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai is a scenic harbour crossing, and Hong Kong Island trams run along the waterfront above Wan Chai.
Parking: HKCEC has limited on-site parking and show-week demand is high; confirm current tariffs and height restrictions with the venue before driving. Most visitors use the MTR Island Line to Wan Chai or Admiralty. If you carry prototypes, arrange loading bay access with the organiser in advance rather than relying on public parking.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026 (show dates 19-20 November)
Temperature: Typical daytime highs 24-26C (75-79F) and overnight lows 18-20C (64-68F); confirm the live forecast for 19-20 November 2026.
Seasonality: November is one of Hong Kong's drier months, with average rainfall around 40 mm and lower humidity than summer; occasional showers and the tail end of the typhoon season still warrant a compact umbrella.
Packing: Pack light layers, a light jacket for air-conditioned halls, a compact umbrella, comfortable walking shoes for the Wan Chai waterfront, and a universal power adapter for type G sockets at 220V. Bring a refillable bottle and business cards if you plan to meet exhibitors.
