Venue Introduction

Venetian Macao Resort Hotel


MPEG-124, the 124th edition of MPEG, will be held in Macao, P.R. China, October 8-12, 2018. This time, the conference will  take place at Venetian Macao

Macao is easy to travel to: it is connected directly to Hong Kong International Airport and Shenzhen International Airport by high-speed ferry, which is only a 60 minutes journey. The longest bridge in the world connecting Hong Kong and Macao is supposed to be opened in late 2018; this will further reduce the transfer time. Macao International Airport is just located in the city center, about five minutes drive to the hotel and convention centers. Macao can be entered without visa or with one issued on arrival for most countries; visitors from over 200 countries enjoy this policy.

MPEG-124  will take place in the convention center of the Venetian Macao Hotel Resort, which is located on the Cotai Strip, the heart of modern Macao’s accommodation, event and entertainment offerings. The Cotai Strip is a stretch of reclaimed land that now joins the islands of Coloane and Taipa. It is close to all the major entry points to Macao, by land, sea or air and with easy access to Macao’s many points of historical and cultural interest. Furthermore, it provides modern infrastructure and a choice from thousands of rooms in a suite of hotels, bars and lounges, theatres, shopping malls, etc.  Conference delegates will enjoy an evening reception at the world’s largest casino property.
Attend MPEG-124, and enjoy a unique city where far-east and west meet in long tradition, while taking part in the leading moving pictures experts gathering. Don’t miss the opportunity of side visits to Hong Kong and other exciting places close by.
