The Brief

The International Infrastructure and Project Leaders Summit (IIPLS) is the Development Bureau’s inaugural premier global event, bringing together infrastructure leaders and experts from around the world to share insights on project delivery and governance, while promoting Hong Kong as an international building technology research hub. CCG was appointed to provide end-to-end event services, including event curation, content and design development, speaker management, logistical arrangements (flights, accommodation and stage management), PR copywriting, and full video production to reinforce the summit’s messaging and Hong Kong’s positioning.

The CCG Way

Given the scale and significance of this government-led initiative, CCG began working with the client a year in advance to ensure clear communication and complete alignment of expectations. Our experienced events and PR team provided strategic advisory support on both the summit programme and its key messages, ensuring consistency between the live experience and all promotional content.

To accommodate a large number of high-level invited guests, CCG managed a complex invitation and registration process for participants and VVIPs. We curated an engaging three-day agenda, opening with a speech by Mr. Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR, and featuring the international summit, two dinners and two technical site visits. Onsite, our team handled VVIP protocol, streamlined registration, managed the schedule, and oversaw budget control to deliver a smooth, well-orchestrated event.

To manage the many moving parts, CCG partnered with trusted vendors for videography and web design, drawing on longstanding relationships to maintain both quality and cost-effectiveness. For the video production, we worked closely with the production studio to develop the storyboard, refine the script, and ensure alignment with the client’s preferred tone and key messages. To keep timelines tight, principal filming was completed in a single day, supplemented by carefully selected models and stock footage. In parallel, CCG developed press release and advertorial copy to extend the summit’s visibility beyond the event itself.

Throughout the summit, dedicated staff and technical partners provided audio-visual support, videography, event-host services and on-the-ground coordination, creating a professional and welcoming atmosphere across both the live event and the video content.
