香港霓虹招牌曾作爲經濟和旅遊發展的重要指標。而為了確保招牌的可見性，店主經常以更闊更高的霓虹招牌設計作為藍圖，整體地創造出獨特的香港夜景。
面對現時科技發展、市場需求、公眾目光、城市規劃等因素，香港的霓虹招牌逐漸消失。幸運的是，本地的保育組織，包括「霓虹交滙」，正在努力保護這些具象徵意義的招牌。他們從與店主談判、拆除後儲存招牌，到為招牌展示作準備工作，都不遺餘力。
是次節目邀請了「霓虹交滙」總經理陳倩雯分享其機構的保育工作，與霓虹招牌承辦商和招牌擁有者一起探討各角色在保育上的參與，並談及近期一次招牌拆除、修復和展覽的經驗，於對談中向大家揭開一些深入的霓虹保育細節。

講者：

Tai Kwun Conversations: Vital Signs Series – The Efforts of Neon Conservation
Date: 14 August (Mon)
Time: 7pm – 8:15pm
Venue: JC Cube
Language: Cantonese (with simultaneous interpretation in English)
Hong Kong neon signs have been significant indicators of the city’s economy and tourism prospect. To ensure visibility amongst neighbouring signboards, wider and taller designs were frequently adopted which collectively created the signature Hong Kong streetscape.
Facing factors of technological advancement, market demand, public perception and urban planning, these colossal Hong Kong neon signs have been disappearing. Fortunately, efforts are being made by local conservation organisations in conserving these symbolic neon signs, including Tetra Neon Exchange (TNX). From negotiating with shop owners, storing the signs after removals, to preparing and showcasing the signs, TNX has paid tremendous efforts in salvaging remaining neon consistently.
Cardin Chan, General manager of TNX will share the conservation efforts made by TNX, and be joined by a neon sign contractor and a sign owner to discuss details of a recent sign removal, restoration and exhibition effort, followed by a conversation to delve deeper into the different aspects of neon conservation.
Moderator:
Oskar Leung (Former Chief Executive Officer, The Conservancy Association Centre for Heritage)
Speakers:
Cardin Chan (General Manager, Tetra Neon Exchange)
Andrew Chui (Managing Director, Tai Ping Koon Restaurant)
Peter Leung (Neon sign contractor)
