BIG DISCOUNTS, SPECIAL PRICE CUTS, BARGAINS AT COMDDAP EXPO MANILA 2010

BIGGEST TECH SALE EXPO. COMDDAP Expo Manila, the longest-running technology show in the country, drew over 20,000 visitors last year, with 39 percent of the attendees coming from the business sector either seeking new trade partners or establishing business contacts while buying heavily-discounted ICT products.

The country’s leading information technology (IT) trade association unwraps big price cuts, special discounts and promotions and bargains on a wide variety of personal gadgets, techno gizmos and business solutions right at the start of the gift-giving season.

The Computer Manufacturers, Distributors and Dealers Association of the Philippines (COMDDAP) brings “I.T.’s a SALE!” at the COMDDAP Expo Manila 2010, which opens today and will run until Sunday, December 5, from 10AM to 7PM at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City. Admission is free.

For four days, COMDDAP will exclusively offer visitors marked down prices (and even outright giveaways for auctioned products) on personal computers, laptops, printers, home entertainment systems, consumer and home electronics, digital cameras, mobile phones and other hot and smart gadgets.
   
Considered the “IT sale of the year”, the event marks the 27th edition of the country’s biggest and longest-running information technology exhibit with top brands, products and services offered at their lowest prices or auctioned off exclusively for visitors.

Consumers and visitors to the annual Expo can flick through and actually try out new products on display or check on customized services as the Expo is designed as a convenient one-stop-shop destination for all kinds of consumers of every budget size: professionals, business owners, technology enthusiasts, students, overseas Filipino workers and even tiangge shoppers looking for bargains.
