Venue
Once again, TXF Asia was held at the stunning W Hotel in Hong Kong's most up and coming area, West Kowloon.
The easiest way to reach the hotel (if arriving from overseas) is to fly into Hong Kong Airport (HKG), just 9 miles from the venue. You can find more details about getting to and from the hotel on their website here.
