Singapore, 8 March 2016 – Hang on to your old gadgets and games. Because when IT Show strikes again from 10 to 13 March 2016 at the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre, you can trade them in for amazing cash vouchers to be used to get new loot at Singapore’s largest tech consumer show.
Started a year ago, the trade-in program has gained prominence quickly and is now recognised as one of the key features of both the IT Show and Comex – the leading tech consumer shows in Singapore organised by Exhibits Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere Exhibits. Sphere Exhibits is the events and exhibition subsidiary of Singapore Press Holdings.
Mr Eric Ng, Head of Marketing, Exhibits Inc said: “When we saw the success of the trade-in program last year, we knew this was the way to go. We started with only three categories and now have eight. Smartphones, laptops, tablets, PCs, monitors, game consoles and now used games and small TVs are all exchangeable for cash vouchers at IT Show 2016.”
