Summer Sourcing Show for Gifts, Houseware and Toys
July 4-7
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center 
China, Hong Kong 
Map

A trade-only event for exhibitors in the gifts, houseware and toy industries. In 2010 the event attracted 409 companies from 14 countries around the world. The event is divided into themed zones known as 'hot spots,' each of which focuses on a different product group. This year the 'hot spots' include Treasure Island - home to high-end brands; Home tech and electronic gift zone - appliances for the home; and Green gifts and houseware zone - which focuses on sustainable living. Though the fair attracts exhibitors from around the world, in terms of visitor numbers (and importance) it is overshadowed by the New York International Gift Fair (January 29-February). The Summer Sourcing Show runs concurrently with the KKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week.
