Reed Exhibitions will host its second Asian Aerospace event in Hong Kong in September, 2009, as the aviation industry changes its focus to China.

Key prospects include:
- Air frame
- Avionics

- Airport technologies
- Air traffic control equipment
- Business jets

Asian Aerospace 2009 is a strictly B2B cost-effective four-day event. In addition to the multi-faceted exhibition, the AA congress (aviation conference) will bring together top buyers, suppliers and government leaders to boost networking and relationship development.

PARTICIPATION OPTIONS
Aerospace Product Literature Centre (APLC)
The U.S. Commerce Department is sponsoring an Aerospace Product
Literature Centre (APLC) at Asian Aerospace 2009 in the U.S.
Commerce Department booth space. An APLC provides U.S.
companies with its lowest cost option for participating in an
international aerospace trade show at US$750. Companies
send their product literature to the show where U.S. Department
of Commerce aerospace experts obtain ‘trade leads’ for the
individual APLC companies. These leads are then sent to the
companies 2-3 weeks following the show. As a participant in
the APLC, company officials are welcome to attend the show and
‘walk-the-floor’ as well as participate in activities and support
services at Asian Aerospace 2009. For more information,
contact Deborah Semb at Tel: 202/482-0677, email: Deborah.Semb@mail.doc.gov
Kiosk / Starter Packs
Reed Exhibitions is offering a limited number of low-cost kiosks
or ‘starter packs’ for first time U.S. exhibitors. This
starter pack is great value for money and it is slightly smaller
than a standard booth size. Measuring 3m x 2m = 6 square
meters, this gives a potential company a cost effective and
hassle free way of participating in the exhibition and to access
the tremendous potential of the market in Asia. The rate is
HK$22,205 (approx. US$2,865). For more information, contact
Mary Ellen Guerrlich or Kurt Rauner at Reed Exhibitions.
Standard Exhibition
Working in coordination with the U.S. Commercial Service and the
American Embassies/Consulates around the world, the U.S. Pavilion
will once again be the focus of many visiting delegations and
civil and commercial aviation decision makers. Booth space
is available in the official U.S. Pavilion at this event.
Measuring at 3m x 3m = 9 square meters, the rate is
HK$45,585 (approx. US$5,881). For more information, contact
Mary Ellen Guerrlich or Kurt Rauner at Reed Exhibitions.
U.S. COMMERCIAL SERVICE BUSINESS SUPPORT FOR U.S. EXHIBITORS
The U.S. Commercial Service will offer a range of free programs to American exhibitors, aimed at promoting U.S. product and services to Asia.
ShowTime Business Advisory Service
Industry specialists from U.S. Department of Commerce posts from
China and across Asia will be available to meet with you in your

market-specific business advice. If you are already

offered at no charge. Each market briefing is approximately
20-30 minutes. A link to a registration form will be
posted here closer to the event date.
