New Responsive HKCEC Website Designed for Mobile Device Users

November 11, 2015

The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (“HKCEC”) has recently revamped its website, (www.hkcec.com), adopting the new ‘Responsive’ technology. 

It is now fully available for desktop as well as mobile phones, tablets and other mobile devices with different screen sizes and configurations.

More than 70 percent of the 20,000 daily visitors use their mobile devices to visit the HKCEC website. The revamp provides them with user friendly navigation, along with enhanced services and easy to access information.

The design of the entire website follows the principle “visual first”, using photos, graphics and short copies effectively to communicate information.  This strategy matches the preferences of mobile users, and makes navigating the site easier.

Another main feature of the revamped website is the “interactive floor plans”, which enable users to select their preferred HKCEC venues or restaurants by simply clicking on the floor plans. 

Major HKCEC venues are presented by “panoramic virtual tours”, which help event organizers to visualize the different venues and their specific settings and decor.  This is an extremely useful tool especially for overseas event organizers, because it enables them to understand the configuration of the venues before conducting a physical site inspection.

Each of the HKCEC’s seven individual restaurants is now presented with a “thematic restaurant page” developed for the website with attractive interior images and shots of signature dishes, representing its unique ambience and culinary specialities. An online reservation enquiry system has been added to the website, allowing customers to make enquiries even after operational hours. 

As a demonstration of the management company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, “web accessibility” features have been built in to ensure that the content is easily available for all, including people with visual impairments.

The HKCEC website is an important communication platform through which event organizers, visitors and stakeholders can understand and appreciate the facilities and services provided by the HKCEC.

Every day, MGM Resorts hosts organizations and individuals from around the world with a diverse array of business purposes, needs and expectations. But they all have one thing in common—a host committed to making their meetings sustainable and unforgettable through close partnership and responsible meeting practices. Harnessing the Sun Meetings at MGM Resorts are predominantly powered by the sun, thanks to its innovative 100-megawatt solar array. As the largest directly sourced renewable electricity project in the hospitality industry, the solar array features 323,000 panels and produces up to 100% of MGM Resorts’ daytime power needs in Las Vegas.* Built in 2021, the solar array reduces the carbon footprint of meetings—and all of MGM Resorts—while still delivering an enlightening and electrifying guest experience. Leading Water Stewardship Knowing water is essential to operations, guests and employees, MGM Resorts has long employed various conservation measures and has doubled down on its commitment in recent years to become a leading corporate water steward. In 2022, MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle signed the CEO Water Mandate, a United National Global Compact, becoming the first gaming company to endorse the initiative. The company replaced more than 200,000 square feet of real grass with drought-tolerant landscaping in Las Vegas and pledged to reduce water use by 33% by 2025 and by 35% by 2030. Between 2007 and 2022, MGM Resorts saved more than 6 billion gallons of water through water conservation. Fostering Diversity, Equity & Inclusion MGM Resorts serves a world of diverse people, perspectives and experiences by cultivating a workforce culture that embraces all of humanity. From mindful recruitment and hiring practices to meaningful social responsibility initiatives, MGM Resorts is a welcoming and inclusive space for veterans, individuals with disabilities, people from diverse backgrounds, LGBTQ+ community members and more. The company’s commitment to supplier diversity drives innovation by extending competitive opportunities to local and diverse-owned suppliers, while the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program provides diverse-owned businesses tools and resources to enhance and grow their businesses. Paying it Forward MGM Resorts knows that great companies must serve the greater good. That’s why paying it forward is part of its approach to meetings and events. Through the Feeding Forward Program, MGM Resorts collects and preserves unserved and untouched food from conventions held at its properties, then safely donates to food-insecure people through a partnership with Three Square, Southern Nevada’s primary food bank. Since 2016, MGM Resorts has donated more than 3.7 million meals, with a goal of 5 million meal donations by 2025. Donations include unserved perishable prepared foods from events, perishable unprepared food from MGM Resorts’ kitchens and nonperishable food items from minibars and warehouses. From world-class venues and experiences to industry leading responsible meeting practices, MGM Resorts is proud to host meaningful and sustainable events. *Not including The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
