ChristianTrade Association International is offering to pay for the first night's lodging at the convention hotel for the first 50 Asians from outside Hong Kong who pre-register for Marketsquare Asia 2008, which will be held Sept. 7-9 in Hong Kong.

In addition, all participants who pre-register for the convention will receive complimentary tickets to the opening Celebration Dinner, which will feature speaker Frances Lee, a noted Hong Kong-based author and publisher, and an English/Mandarin worship band. Pre-registration ends Aug. 1.

"With the pressure from all sides to be successful economically, Ms. Lee's unique insight into the critical mission of Christian publishing will be an inspiration to all," said Stanley Shum, chairman of the Chinese Association of Christian Publishers. "It is a message that must be heard, especially in light of a new generation of Christian publishers in Asia."

Marketsquare is expecting delegates from more than 15 countries at the show. For more information, visit www.christiantrade.com.
