SINGAPORE, February 2010 – CommunicAsia2010, the most established infocomm technology (ICT) event in Asia, has seen more than 80 per cent of its exhibition show floor taken up with over four months to go to the event.  The predominant global business networking platform for the industry in the region will be held at the Singapore Expo from 15 – 18 June 2010.

Co-located with BroadcastAsia2010, the events are expected to boast at least 58,000 square metres of exhibition space.  Visitors to the shows this year will get to witness the latest technology innovations demonstrated by 2,000 multi-national corporations and small and medium enterprises.  33 international group pavilions will be spread across the show floor, reflecting the push by governments and industry bodies to expand their footprint into Asia.  First time participants include a group from Bangladesh and another led by India’s Telecom Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC).

This one-of-its-kind trade event brings the most comprehensive showcase of convergent technologies for the infocomm, media and broadcasting industries to Asia. “The unique co-location of CommunicAsia2010 and BroadcastAsia2010 presents the only platform of its kind that aptly addresses the convergence of telecommunications and broadcasting and brings together business leaders, government officials and trade professionals to network, discuss critical industry issues and explore opportunities for growth,” said Mr. Victor Wong, Project Director of Communications Events from show organiser, Singapore Exhibition Services. 

“Digital media, mobile applications and other emerging technologies are driving traditional industry players to rethink their business models and explore cross-industry collaborations to stay relevant in this dynamic environment; our established events are well positioned to meet these needs.”
