Response
for GITEX 2003 has exceeded all previous expectations, with the number of
trade visitors pre-registering for the region's benchmark IT show numbering
11,673 in exactly one month since online registrations commenced on September 6th.
"We are pleased with the tremendous interest the show has already generated
from trade professionals," said Dubai World Trade Centre
(DWTC)
General Manager, Exhibitions, Leasing and Property, Abdulla T. Qassem. "GITEX 2003, which has already set new
records in number of participants, countries and gross floor space, is now
poised to achieve new highs as the show grows in size, scale and scope to
create a more global impact. This increasing interest is an indication that we
are proceeding on the right track," added Mr. Qassem.
The online computerized pre-registration process is designed to ease
overcrowding at registration desks during the show and enables effective
monitoring of the interest the event is generating among IT professionals
throughout the region. Pre-registration enables a fast-track entry for trade
visitors to the exhibition and eliminates the need for long queues.
GITEX over the years has evolved into the perfect business and technological
platform for the IT industry making it an important event for stimulating
regional and international trade.
Pre-registration is limited to trade professionals only. College and university
students who wish to visit the exhibition must show valid identification and
pay the applicable fees offline.
Online registration at GITEX is the norm and roughly 8,000 trade visitors
pre-registered through the online service in 2002. Last year's edition attracted
more than 65,000 visitors in total. |
