The HKMA 65th Anniversary Theme Year Summit 2025 took place on 28 August 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong, bringing together a cross-section of business leaders, management practitioners, and industry representatives. Organised by HKMA, the one-day summit formed part of the association’s 65th anniversary theme year, marking a milestone in its convening role within Hong Kong’s management and business community.
The summit programme centred on forward-looking conversations about leadership, organisational development, and the evolving environment in which businesses operate. Through plenary sessions and moderated discussions, participants exchanged perspectives on how management practices are adapting amid economic uncertainty, technological change, and shifting workforce expectations. Rather than focusing on individual organisations, the discussions emphasised shared challenges faced across sectors and the practical experiences of those leading teams and enterprises in the region.
As an anniversary-year gathering, the summit also provided space to reflect on the purpose of sustained professional dialogue. The event exists to offer a neutral platform where managers and leaders can step back from day-to-day operations to consider longer-term questions affecting businesses and institutions. By convening participants from different industries and backgrounds, the summit addressed the ongoing need for collective learning and cross-sector understanding in a complex business landscape.
The 2025 edition sits within a longer trajectory of HKMA-led forums and conferences that have, over the decades, sought to support management capability and professional exchange in Hong Kong. While each edition responds to its contemporary context, the underlying aim of fostering informed discussion and connection has remained consistent.
Looking ahead, the HKMA 65th Anniversary Theme Year Summit continues this tradition by reinforcing the value of regular, structured engagement among business and management communities, contributing to ongoing conversations that shape leadership practice over time.
