COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2003 POSTPONED TO PROVIDE SARS-FREE ENVIRONMENT FOR ITS PARTICIPANTS
02 May 2003 - Advantech UK

COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2003, which was originally planned to take place on June 2nd ~ 6th, will be postponed owing to the SARS outbreak. Through this decision, the organizers (Taipei Computer Association & CETRA – China External Trade Development Council) hope to provide a healthy environment for visitors. Exhibitors and buyers have also shown their support towards the latest announcement.

Questionnaires had been sent earlier to COMPUTEX TAIPEI's exhibitors and buyers to survey theiropinions and suggestions towards the show. The results concluded that most exhibitors would like the show to be postponed in response to the current situation. Due to such suggestions and current government regulations of 10 days isolation towards visitors from high-risk countries, the organizers have decided to postpone the show to allow participants to make a safer decision regarding COMPUTEX TAIPEI.

With the publicity surrounding SARS, most exhibitors and buyers have expressed their support for the show by stating that they will be present at the rescheduled date. The organizers are currently negotiating for the exhibition date with the TWTC and TICC halls, and will make the final announcement as soon as possible.

Advantech still hopes to see you at this year's COMPUTEX TAIPEI tradeshow where we will showcase our most advanced technology and diversified ePlatform solutions.
