CommunicAsia 2011 is being relocated this year to the recently completed Marina Bay Sands in the city's vibrant financial and hotel district, which makes it the ideal backdrop for business leaders, government officials and industry professionals from around the world to congregate for high-level business networking and knowledge sharing meetings.
"We have received strong support from the vast majority of participating international companies on this move," said Victor Wong, project director of communication events at Singapore Exhibition Services. "The ability to host all their activities in the new venue makes it easier for exhibitors to offer a mix of hospitality and educational activities to their business partners."
Running June 21 to 24, Communic Asia 2011 is again returning this year as the region's major launch pad to introduce cutting-edge technologies, products and solutions.
Themed "Shaping Vision, Creating Reality," CommunicAsia 2011 will feature developments that push satellite technology boundaries, as well as a sneak peek into the latest market-ready devices and solutions, and dynamic new industry deals set to change the pace of ICT in Asia and worldwide.
One of the highlights this year is the introduction of new TechZones and Technology Trails, which organize key exhibitors by cutting-edge products, technologies and solutions, such as for OEM/ODM in Action, Fiber for Next-gen Services and Next-gen Services and Applications.
The Summit, meanwhile, will feature forums and workshops that address the most pressing issues and challenges in the ICT industry, focusing on broadband driven trends, cloud computing and mobile value-added services. Extended sessions dedicated to these topics will be added to the conference, alongside the latest topics on satellite communications, security, and the ever growing mobile marketing industry.
Built on last year's success, the organizer expects that over 2,000 exhibitors will be participating in the event this year. Among them include leading returning exhibitors such as ABS, BlackBerry, Emerson Network Power, Eutelsat, Irdeto, LS Cable, Falcon Interactive, Fluke Networks, Huawei, Inmarsat, Intelsat, PCCW Global, SkyPerfect JSAT, SES World Skies, Thaicom and ZTE.
