First IT fair of 2011

MORE than 150,000 visitors thronged the inaugural Malaysia IT Fair at Mid Valley conventre centre from Jan 28 to Jan 30, 2011. Themed "Bringing IT closer to you", the fair was organised by Unified Distribution Technologies Sdn Bhd and showcased more than 80 IT product brands with more than 200 booths over approximately 4,776 square metres. Although less than half the size the bigger PC Fair, the Malaysia IT Fair managed to offer quite a good range of products for visitors including laptops/netbooks, cameras, storage, security software, and many more at discounted prices. What's new and interesting about this fair is the inclusion of activities for visitors like auctions, trivia, contest and on-stage games, which truly succeeded in engaging visitors. For example, the auction sessions allowed visitors to buy items like iPads, smartphones, laptops, speakers and peripherals starting from RM1. In conjunction with the rabbit year celebration, the organiser has also invited a well-known Malaysian Feng Shui master Kenny Hoo to give Feng Shui outlooks to the visitors.
