The conference will be held at Hong Kong’s oldest tertiary institution - the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

We are grateful to the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at HKU for hosting the Conference at the Cheung Kung Hai Conference Centre inside the Faculty of Medicine.

The University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Medicine is located at the southwestern coast of Hong Kong Island and is surrounded by lush greenery and captivating views of the South China Sea. 

Hong Kong is divided into three main areas – Hong Kong Island (where the conference will be held), Kowloon and the New Territories (which are connected to each other and onto Mainland China).  It is an amazing city with a history steeped in both Chinese and Western roots.  We hope that delegates are able to take advantage of their stay to explore this crossroads of cultures, including famous sites such as Victoria Harbour, The Peak, Temple Street Market, Wong Tai Sin Temple and Tian Tan Buddha.
