Although I anticipated to seeing a large crowd of visitors before I
went to the IT (Information Technology) Show Singapore 2007,
I never expected that it was out of my imagination. My goodness!
It was on Saturday, 10th March 2007. After coming out of the
City Hall MRT Station, I was waiting for a free shuttle service
ride to Suntec City Exhibition Centre. The bus was fully packed.
When approaching Suntec City, we were stuck in the traffic jam
for more than ten minutes.
At the lobby of the Suntec City Exhibition Centre,
all escalators were full of people.
After moving up to the level 4 Exhibition Hall, I saw
many people. Although I used to see crowds of people
at this kind of exhibitions, it seemed that the visitors were
much more than the previous years.
Entering the Exhibition Hall, I could not have a chance to
see the exhibits. The walkway was very wide, but the crowd
was too large. I decided to visit the booths of Olympus and
Starhub. As we switched to using Olympus digital cameras four
years ago, I just wanted to see its latest product.
We have subscribed the MaxOnline Internet and SCV programs
for many years and I would like to find out more on the
upgrade promotion offered. At the Starhub booth, I saw the
long queue of people and decided to check it out at other time.
At the level 6 Exhibition Hall, it was also full of visitors.
I could hardly go near to the exhibitors' booths as
people at the walkway just keep flowing without stopping.
After spending almost two hours walking through the
Level 4 and Level 6 Exhibition Halls, I hardly
went close to the booths I wanted to. I just took some pictures of
the crowds.
We could find the latest and most comprehensive range of
exhibits from Digital & Video Cameras, Desktops,
Notebooks, MP3 / MP4 Players, LCD TVs, Plasmas, Printers,
Games & Consoles, PDAs and Smart Phone, Wireless Broadband,
Projectors, Networking Products, Handphones, Toners/Cartridges,
Media, Home and mobile Entertainment, Digital Lifestyle Products,
Multimedia, Peripherals, Storage Solutions, Surveillance &
Security Solutions, Software, Bluetooth Products,
Educational Software, IT Training Courses, Business Applications,
Enterprise Solutions, Consumer Electronics to a plethora of accessories.
More than 718,000 people visited the four-day IT Show 2007.
It was the highest attendance in its 16-year history.
