Hong Kong has won the right to host one of the world's largest service club events: the prestigious Lions International Convention, to be held in 2026. This annual event is expected to attract 20,000-plus attendees from all over the world, hence being a truly global and big event.
The 2026 Lions International Convention will be held in July 2026 at the AsiaWorld-Expo, located next to the Hong Kong International Airport, to provide world-class facilities closely knit for the comfort of the Lions community throughout the convention.
Hong Kong has hosted the Lions International Convention twice, in 1992 and 2005. This massive win marks the triumphant return of one of the largest conventions. The event will underline Hong Kong’s fine ability to host large-scale international events, further consolidating its position as a leading MICE destination,

We can’t wait to welcome the members of the Clubs to our city once again with much new attractions and excitements developed in the past and coming years.”
Lions Clubs International is an organisation of the world’s largest service clubs, comprising over 1.4 million members in more than 48,000 clubs across 200 countries and geographical areas who provide social and humanitarian services to benefit their communities.
