To help convey the message of Taiwan’s emerging IT industry, TAITRA staged its own International Press Conference and New Product Announcements that underscore COMPUTEX TAIPEI and TAITRONICS, Taiwan's two annual flagship shows.
It was at CES where TAITRA kicked off the show year by connecting with a massive global media scrum and tens of thousands of global buyers. Its International Press Conference at The Venetian Hotel on January 8, was led by TAITRA's Executive Vice President, Walter Yeh who introduced major ICT exhibits in Taiwan, chiefly AUTOTRONICS (April), COMPUTEX TAIPEI (June) and TAITRONICS (October). And after that show goers were treated to several new product announcements.
