Computex: Taiwan von SARS-Liste und neuer Pavillion

Pressemitteilung COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2003 September 22-26 Is back on track just in time! WITH NEW A21 PAVILION!!! TAIWAN OFF SARS LIST! July 11, 2003 - “Hurrah!!” That cheer echoing across the computer world was heard loudest in Taipei as thousands danced and sang in the streets alongside marching bands. The celebrations on Saturday July 5, was not your normal Saturday night fever – but came in response to the World Health Organization (WHO) taking Taiwan off the list of areas with recent local transmissions of SARS. The “all-clear” from WHO comes after a strict 20-day wait, more than twice the incubation period for SARS. Such a review is vital for COMPUTEX’03 which welcomes more than 70,000 visitors, including 20,000 foreign buyers. IT’s MOST INTERACTIVE EVENT! Across Taiwan and around the world, the IT industry is now getting set for COMPUTEX’03 (September 22-26) that comes just in time for the winter shopping season. This event, that stands among the world’s three top IT shows, brings together a total of 1,148 exhibitors from every facet of the industry who will use 2,300 booths to display the latest products. Visitors to COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2003 will see dozens of show events coupled with the hottest and broadest selection of products that will let this show bounce back with fresh vigor.
