What our visitors think of the event:
 
…I am here to gather some information about the companies that are exhibiting, look at their products and review partnership opportunities to meet our clients’ needs.  I am sourcing for ICT infrastructure, software, video software, mobile and wireless technologies.  It is a great show!  There is a wide range of products here and I’ve made a lot of business leads.  I think this year’s show is better than last year’s.  More of the big players are here and the range of exhibitors is broader.  I’m looking at the new entrants and I find their products very interesting, as they’ve more edge and are more competitively priced.

Karl Favila, Chief Channels Officer, Multi-fold Links, Philippines

 
The show is very informative and the range of products is good.  We’re able to see different technologies from all over the world relevant to my work.  I am sourcing for communication technology for example, satellite communications, IT software and hardware.  We exchanged contacts with quite a number of companies and may contact them for future projects.

Jacky Chai Wee Loon, IT Comms Specialist, Ministry of Defence, Singapore

 
This is an excellent event and I am impressed by the quality of exhibitors that I see here. I had a very fulfilling visit and it is definitely time well-spent!

Exhibitors' quotes:
 
We’re pleased with the overall attendance at CommunicAsia, as this has given us the potential to generate new business.  Existing customers also have a handle of our new products; and this is critical to keeping in touch and keeping top-of-mind recall with current customers – an important factor when they are looking to adopt new services.

Fraser Taylor, Marketing Specialist, Eaton, USA

 
CommunicAsia is an ideal platform for us to launch our products and establish a presence in Asia-pacific.  Being our first time exhibiting at the show, we’ve had a very good experience, and had the opportunity to meet visitors from the region.  We will be coming back to CommunicAsia next year.
