This year’s show boasts over 600 exhibitors and spans four levels at Suntec Singapore. Moreover, for every $50 spent, visitors can enter a “Lucky Purchaser’s Draw” to win $10,000 and other prizes including LCD television, camcorder and MP3 player.
Occupying halls on Levels 1, 3, 4 and 6 at Suntec Singapore, the PC Show will house four individual sections – The PC Show ’09, Digital Imaging ’09, Game ’09 and Consumer Electronics ’09. The exhibition will be open daily from 12 noon to 9 pm. Admission is free.
