    The true success of a conference is sometimes how many follow-up notes/conversations you need to have afterwards. Ian Nuttall and his team did an incredible job driving conversation and delivering network opportunities.

    Destination Hong Kong

    CONFERENCE VENUE: Dorsett Kai Tak Hotel, flagship 5-star hotel adjacent to the emerging Kai Tak Sports Park – Hong Kong’s future entertainment destination.

    Boasting spectacular views of Hong Kong’s iconic Victoria Harbour, Dorsett Kai Tak Kowloon Hotel sits adjacent to the city’s new 50,000 stadium – home to all of Hong Kong’s major sporting events and concerts, state-of-the-art sports facilities, and new shopping and dining offerings. The venue is located only 15-20 minutes away from Hong Kong’s CBD via the new Shatin to Central link.

    HOTEL: To maximise networking and minimise travel times/expense, we recommend all international delegates stay at the official hotel. The new 373-room Dorsett Kai Tak flagship hotel is inspired by the location’s dreamy marina lifestyle and the ocean. Dorsett Kai Tak features an outdoor rooftop bar and pool, 100 square metre fitness centre, and fully-equipped event spaces which will host The Marketplace and all conference sessions of TheStadiumBusiness ASIA 2025.

    Full details – along with the discounted #SAS25 room booking link – will be provided with your confirmed delegate pass registration.
