Comdex 2004 shuts its doors

It's 'taking a breather' says organiser...we're not holding our breath

Published: 23 June 2004 17:50 GMT

Computer trade show Comdex, once the biggest event on the tech calendar, has been cancelled this year, a victim of the growing interest in shows emphasising consumer electronics and specialist IT gear.

Eric Faurot, vice president of Comdex organiser MediaLive International, revealed the plans in an exclusive interview with silicon.com's sister site CNET News.com, saying the company plans to give Comdex a breather after years of falling attendance, in the number of both attendees and vendors.

"We feel that while we could run Comdex profitably this year, it really wouldn't serve the interests of the broader IT industry," he said. The international versions of the show are expected to continue as planned.
