HKRI Annual Dinner 2026: Night of Italian Flair

HKR International’s annual dinner was held grandly on 15 May. Embracing this year’s theme, “Night of Italian Flair”, colleagues and guests dressed beautifully in refined olive green and sophisticated Italian styles, echoing the elegance of Toscana*, Discovery Bay’s luxurious sea-view residential development. 

Italian Prelude at Toscana Sales Gallery

For the first time, pre-dinner activities were hosted at Toscana Sales Gallery, featuring stylish decorations and interactive games that immersed guests in an unforgettable Italian atmosphere.

Chairman’s Speech

During his welcoming remarks, Mr. Victor Cha, Chairman of the Group, reflected on the Group’s achievements over the past year and shared his vision for future developments. With HKRI’s 50th anniversary approaching in 2027, he reaffirmed the Group’s commitment to innovation and excellence, further strengthening HKRI’s corporate brand. To show appreciation for everyone’s dedications over the past year, 49 special prizes were prepared for the lucky draw, symbolising the Group’s 49th anniversary this year.

Masked Singers Performance by Executives

Four of our senior executives surprised the crowd with a fantastic performance as “Masked Singers”. Other management members were also invited to join them on stage, elevating the atmosphere to new heights which truly showcased the Group's unity and vibrant team spirit. 

The Best Dressed Contest

To match with the theme “Night of Italian Flair”, the Best Dressed Contest was held, with five groups of colleagues showcasing their Italianinspired outfits in creative manner. Their impressive presentations not only captured everyone’s attention, but also echoed the Italian artistry that inspires our upcoming new residential project, Toscana*.
