THE ANNUAL COMDEX Fall trade show will begin in Las Vegas Sunday with 27 percent fewer exhibitors than last year, but organizers hope visitor numbers will remain high with people keen to see new handheld and Tablet PC products.
The drop in exhibitor numbers, from 1,500 to 1,100, reflects the "challenging" conditions of the IT and high-tech markets over the past few years, a spokesman for organizer Key3Media Group said Thursday.
