Although CommunicAsia in Singapore was a bit more low key to shows like Mobile World Congress in both Asia and Europe, the event still managed to draw the crowds and the vendors, although some big names like Nokia and Sony Ericsson decided to stay out of show and exhibit in neighboring hotels instead.
CommunicAsia and BroadcastAsia’s organizers said the events had attracted 55,150 local and international industry visitors, conference speakers and delegates, exhibiting staff and media, with many more overseas visitors this year than last.
Indeed visitors from key Asia Pacific markets like China, India, Japan and Korea all apparently saw double digit growth from a year ago.
“The increase in overseas attendees, particular those from the Asia Pacific region, reflects the anticipated rebound in IT and media spending and how companies are ready to invest for further growth in Asia,” said Mr Stephen Tan, Chief Executive of show organiser, Singapore Exhibition Services (SES).
“This strongly cements CommunicAsia and BroadcastAsia’s position as the top global trade event for the Infocomm, broadcasting and media industries in Asia,” he added.
With firms like Skype, Yahoo, NTT DOCOMO, ZTE, Huawei, Altek, Inmarsat, Samsung and others all taking up floor space, it was certainly a colorful and device filled event.
