In the beginning, Mr. Victor Ng (Chairman of HKETA) gave a welcome speech. He said electronics technology was one of enabling technologies which matched the economic development in Hong Kong.

The keynote speech was Mr. Johann CY Wong (Deputy Commissioner for Innovation and Technology Commission) and Mr. Wong briefed the Economic Policy of 2013 Policy Address that "Under the Eonomic Development Committee (EDC), Manufacturing Industries, Innovative Technology and Cultural and Creative Industries, and Professional Services will be set up to make concrete recommendations to the Government."

Then all HKETA committee members and VIPs toasted to all guests.

Mr. Charles Mok (Legislative Councilor (Information Technology)) was one of VIPs and he shared his view on the 2013 Policy Address. He said it addressed not enough on Information Technology.

Mr. Ronny TONG Ka-wah (Legislative Councilor (New Territories East)) was another of VIPs and he mentioned the Housing and Land Supply did not consider to review the New Territories Small House Policy (俗稱丁屋).

Ir. Dr. Hon LO Wai-kwok (Legislative Councilor (Engineering)) was the third VIP and he shared the content of 2013 Policy Address which related to Electronics Industry included "Innovation and Technology Industries" and "Testing and Certification Industry".

Then Charles and Ronny sang a song named "年少無知".

After that Dr. Lo sang a song named "輪流轉".

Mr. Kenneth So (Honorary Adviser of HKETA) gave a talk entitled "A Trilogy". He advised people think carefully before update Facebook status. Then he said that young men and women today had no Steve "Jobs", Bob "Hope" and Johnny "Cash". Lastly, he said that did not believe public opinion (e.g. News heading). He had a friend (church father) who kept donkey as a pet and it won the race twice. But the local newspaper read "PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT". Then Bishop was upset and do some preventive actions. Whatever how Bishop do, this local newspaper headline was still negative. After the story, Mr. Kenneth So concluded "Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery. It can even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life to the fullest."
