The exhibition floor space and the number of exhibitors this year have been halved as compared with last year.
Only 3,000 people pre-registered for the regional IT event this year, compared with 4,000 in 2000, said a COMDEX spokesperson.
COMDEX/Asia 2001, held at Suntec International Conventions and Exhibition Center here from April 10 to 12, was organized by Singapore Information Technology Federation (SITF), Times Conferences & Exhibitions and Key3 Media Events.
Last year, the event housed at the same location occupied 3,559 sq meters of exhibition floor, according to the spokesperson. The event then had attracted over 20,000 visitors, 800 delegates and speakers, as well as approximately 225 exhibitors.
However, the floor space has been cut down to 1,500 sq meters and the number of exhibitors has dwindled to a mere 125 this year.
When asked last week asked how many visitors COMDEX expected this year, the spokesperson said that it aims to attract the same number as last year, but on Monday, the organizers revealed that they had approximately 10,000 attendees for the event.
