1,712 Exhibitors at Computex Taipei

For five days the organizer of COMPUTEX TAIPEI had only one fear: that the dreaded swine flu would strike at and possibly shut down their event, the world’s largest ICT procurement hub. But the only flu at this venue was a fervent fever for everything to do with ICT that established fresh records for the size, scale and turn-out.

While other IT shows around the world had cut back, the visitors in Taipei were astonished to discover COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2009 running at max capacity. In fact, even in the face of adverse market conditions this show still managed to squeeze in growth by hosting 1,712 exhibitors who used 4,498 booths. During its first 4 days, the show welcomed 32,178 intl buyers (+ 1%) from 214 countries and more than 100,000 international and local visitors (+ 5%). The top 5 countries for international buyers are from United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Mainland China and Korea with Australia new in the top 10 this year.
