SITEX returns to the Singapore Expo from 27 \u2013 30 November<br \/>\n2008, 11am \u2013 9pm. Admission is free.<\/p>\n<p>Said Mr Edwin Low, CEO of Singex Exhibitions, \u201cSITEX has grown dramatically in<br \/>\nterms of size and visitorship since its inception. Year on year, SITEX continues to<br \/>\nwoo visitors with the latest consumer IT offerings, new initiatives and themed<br \/>\nsegments. This year, we have extended our exhibition space to accommodate over<br \/>\n200 exhibitors showcasing more than 500 IT brands and an anticipated 800,000<br \/>\nvisitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u201cShop For Free\u201d Lucky Draw<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nIn celebration of SITEX\u2019s 20th Anniversary, customers with a minimum spend of $100<br \/>\nin a single receipt can enter the \u201cShop for Free\u201d Lucky Draw where 8 lucky winners<br \/>\nwill walk away with a total of $2,000 cash each (total $16,000).<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Free $200 CBL Data Recovery Voucher<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nBesides the lucky draw, the Organisers are also giving away a free data recovery<br \/>\nvoucher to each customer who spends a minimum $100 in a single receipt.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Bigger Exhibition<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIn addition to Halls 5 and 6, the sold-out exhibition will be extended to Foyer 2 and<br \/>\nAtrium 5. To offer more lifestyle options to visitors, 3 new segments &#8211; Sports<br \/>\nElectronics, Digital Music Technology, and Digital Art Technology \u2013 have also<br \/>\nbeen added to the show. Other familiar segments that will occupy the 21,500 sqm of<br \/>\nfloor space include Animation, Camera &amp; Camcorder, Computer &amp; Hardware,<br \/>\nGaming, Home Entertainment, Mobile Communications, MP3\/MP4\/MP5, Automobile<br \/>\nElectronics, IT &amp; New Media Education, IT for Kids, and Smart Home.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Paper Recycling<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nFollowing the tremendous success of last year\u2019s electronic recycling initiative, the<br \/>\nOrganisers are taking another leap forward by partnering Clean Solutions to<br \/>\nintroduce paper recycling at this year\u2019s show. Applauding SITEX\u2019s green movement,<br \/>\nMr Alistair Tan, Business Development Manager of Clean Solutions, said \u201cFor many<br \/>\nof us, the year-end season often inspires a spirit of giving. Visitors can do their bit<br \/>\nfor charity by disposing unwanted pamphlets and flyers collected during the show<br \/>\ninto designated paper recycling bins placed outside the halls. We would also like to<br \/>\nencourage visitors to discard old copies of newspapers, magazines, telephone<br \/>\ndirectories and printing paper into the paper recycling bins provided\u201d. The<br \/>\nOrganisers will be donating all proceeds from the recycling efforts to the Society for<br \/>\nthe Physically Disabled (SPD).<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ladies Go Tech!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nMr Edwin Low, CEO of Singex Exhibitions, commented \u201cSITEX has traditionally been<br \/>\na male-skewed event with males making up more than 68% of visitors. We have<br \/>\nobserved that the number of females to SITEX has increased steadily over the past<br \/>\nthree years from 23% in 2005 to 32% in 2007. We have therefore devised a Ladies<br \/>\nGo Tech promotion to offer our tech-savvy female shoppers another good reason to<br \/>\nmake their IT purchases at SITEX.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a minimum spend of $200 in a single receipt, female shoppers can take part in<br \/>\na Lucky Dip.
