PC SHOW 2009 ATTRACTED OVER 1.16 MILLION OF VISITORS AND YIELDED $52.1 MILLION IN SALES

Optimistic exhibitors and unfazed consumers made The PC Show 2009 a success story, despite economic concerns

Singapore , 16 June 2009 – The PC Show 2009, Singapore’s longest running IT and consumer electronics show, ended on a high note last Sunday. Attracting over 1.16 million visitors, the show has generated around $52.1 million in sales. Spanning across four levels at Suntec Singapore, with over 600 exhibitors, the 19th edition of The PC Show ended at 9pm on Sunday, 14 June.

Ms Gillian Loh, project manager, Lines Exposition and Management Services said, “The PC Show 2009 received overwhelming support and patronage from the consumers. This is especially fantastic in a year such as this, when there is a general slow down in the economy. With $52.1 million of sales generated, we can see that consumer spending on electronics and technology still remains unfazed.

“On top of thanking all the visitors who came by The PC Show 2009, we are grateful for the strong support from over 600 international and local exhibitors. They have generously brought back attractive prices and promotions for the benefit of the consumers. We have also started making plans for next year and look forward to staging another successful PC Show in 2010!”

The turnout of the public and interest in our products has been incredible. The iNo mobile phone is very popular at the show and we will definitely return to the PC Show next year.”

Wayne Tang, public relations and corporate marketing manager at LG, said, “The response has been great. There have been a lot of enquiries into our products and the PC Show has been a great medium for LG in Singapore in getting our brand wider recognition. We definitely hope to come back again at next year’s PC Show.”

Meff Wong, spokesperson at Achieva, a local exhibitor, said, “The PC show is a wonderful opportunity for us to get our products out there. We are happy that there has been a steady flow of customers over the four days and we are sure to return to the show next year.”

Next year’s PC Show will return from 10 to 13 June 2010 at Suntec Singapore.
