About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Medical Sciences Carving out Lion's Share

A lion's share of HKCAs are leaders of the medical sciences industry. The regional and global medical congresses brought in by these HKCAs comprise more than half of recent event wins.

Dr Janice Tsang said, "Thanks to the collective efforts of the medical community, Hong Kong has a high professional standing in medicine and a passionate community that makes Hong Kong the place to meet. More importantly, the professional bidding support from the HKTB – from venue solicitation to bid proposal preparation, site inspection support and more – has been crucial for bid success."

Financial Services Underwriting Growth Potential

As an international financial centre, the city has also recently secured a number of insurance conventions, including the East Asian Insurance Congress 2024 slated for 24-27 Sep and GAMA LAMP Asia 2024 on 7-9 Oct, expected to bring in close to 3,000 overseas delegates.

Ms Selina Lau, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers, said, "Hong Kong is exceptionally well-positioned to host world-class insurance conventions. Situated at the heart of Asia, a rapidly growing region with immense market potential, Hong Kong serves as a gateway to the Mainland, particularly the thriving Greater Bay Area. From an insurance industry standpoint, 12 of the 20 largest insurance companies globally maintain an operational presence in Hong Kong. The city's robust fundamentals, favourable policies, and robust systems provide a conducive environment for the insurance market to flourish."

Concerted Efforts Making Hong Kong the Meeting Place for the World

The Appreciation Night also celebrated achievements across many other sectors, from innovation and technology to arts and culture, sports, education, social services, and tourism and hospitality. Notably, Hong Kong has been selected as the destination of choice for high-profile technology and Web3 events such as SmartCon 2024 and Consensus Hong Kong 2025.

With the growing HKCA alliance, backed by strong government support and HKTB's redoubled strategic bidding efforts, Hong Kong will further reinforce its compelling value proposition for hosting successful world-class conventions of any industry, leveraging the city's world-class business settings and unique position as a super-connector.
