GITEX is here

Today is the start of GITEX, purportedly the largest IT Fair and Exhibit in the Mideast region. Alongside the tradeshow which is in Dubai's World Trade Center Exhibition Halls is the Gitex Computer Shopper, a one-week computer shopper haven in the Deira district, Dubai Airport Expo. I'm a sucker for trade shows, not just about IT. In fact, I have already attended at least 3 expo's and a mini-seminar here (which is a topic of its own in another blog) in Dubai.

But GITEX is different in a sense that it reminds me of the COMDEX event held in Manila every October which I religiously attend since '98 (last year's was cancelled). I hope to get some pics in the Computer Shopper while I'm there.
