Bangkok (2010-10-05)

THE NUMBER of exhibitors at IT&CMA and CTW 2010, which opens today, has surpassed last year's count, making it 780 exhibitors from 304 companies across 38 countries.

About 2,340 international delegates have been registered, including 483 buyers and corporate travel managers from 54 countries and 151 conference delegates from 22 countries.

This year's show features new initiatives that help delegates to manage their schedules and information sources effectively.

TTG Asia Media, the show organiser, has implemented an SMS-reminder initiative that updates delegates on key sessions an hour before commencement.

Going green is another new initiative designed to improve the learning experience of delegates. Conference materials are now contained in a thumb drive, eliminating the need for bulky documents.
