Asia: In Upbeat MOOD
Driven by rising affluence, an upbeat tempo now pervades almost all aspects of life in urban Asia. The past decade has seen sustained economic growth across Asia led by an awakening dragon and four leaping tigers. Even health scares like SARS and bird flu, and occasional acts of terrorism caused only minor blips on their growth radar. The Asian economies recovered quickly. In fact, these uncertainties coupled with growing purchasing power have likely prompted Asian populations to pursue life even more fully and fervently, readily embracing the exciting possibilities that come with the digital age.

Asia is clearly in an upbeat mood. For manufacturers, suppliers and integrators of equipment and systems for presentations, conferencing, advertising and signage, entertainment and staging, education and training, public information, and command and control, the business opportunities are endless. The 25% share that Asia currently has of the $47 billion (InfoComm International) international AV market looks set to expand given its favorable demographics and economic performance.

From MOOD to MOTION
On the InfoCommAsia Platform

Enabling the global ProAV industry to plug in to the Asian beat, InfoCommAsia lends the brand presence it has boldly nurtured through the years.

InfoCommAsia has brought together Asian buyers and global suppliers of information presentation and display technology since 1998. Its Integrated Systems series of trade exhibitions and educational seminars, first in Singapore and then in China, has provided the event organizer with extensive knowledge of the marketplace and a comprehensive database of market players in Asia. More significantly, the Asian Pro AV market has come to expect meaningful exchanges and learning at InfoCommAsia events. The company has gained recognition for its professionalism and dedication in delivering top rate technology and solutions to the Asian marketplace.

InfoCommAsia is now ready to launch the inaugural Pan Asian anchor event called InfoComm Asia. Scheduled for 19-21 November 2008 in Hong Kong, InfoComm Asia will combine the past experiences and extensive market database acquired to put Asian aspirations into motion.

The biennial InfoComm Asia 2008 will provide a trade platform for international suppliers to meet buyers from all of Asia and the emerging markets, while at the same time enabling Asian manufacturers to seek international trade representatives.  It will be held concurrently with the annual Integrated Systems China event ¡V to be renamed InfoComm China from 2008 ¡V which caters to the burgeoning South China market as it continues to draw interests from Beijing and Shanghai.

The stage is set. The next thing to do is for you to move in¡K
