The 2026 Lions International Convention will be held in July 2026, at the AsiaWorld-Expo, strategically located next to the Hong Kong International Airport, the venue will provide a first-class and seamless connectivity for Lions community activities and an extensive convention programme.

"This event aligns with our mission to grow the MICE sector and bring the world's most prestigious events to our vibrant city and drive social and economic benefits for Hong Kong. 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 the world's largest service organisation, with more than 1.4 million members in more than 48,000 clubs in 200 countries and geographic areas around the globe, where members benefit their communities through social and humanitarian services.
