Christchurch’s, NZ, first ever technology tradeshow takes place on 2 and 3 November. Called ES Connectivity 04, the inaugural 2-day exhibition, to be held at the Christchurch Convention Centre, intends to display some of the advanced technologies and services invented and created in New Zealand.
According to the organisers, the aim of the exhibition “is to profile Canterbury's finest technology capability and to facilitate opportunities for networking, trade partnerships, employment and education”. New Zealand Trade & Enterprise and Electronics South are sponsoring the event.
A variety of technology companies large and small are confirmed to exhibit, including award-winning Christchurch firms Navman and Tyco Electronics, claim the organisers. Others include software developers and electronic design companies, such as The 3rd Dimension Limited that provides laser scanning technology for 3D CAD modelling.
“ES Connectivity will benefit participants and attendees alike by enabling greater awareness of local capability, encouraging potential business opportunities, and providing valuable publicity and profile both locally and internationally,” says James Saruchera, exhibition organiser and facilitator for Electronics South and Canterbury Software.
The first day of the show will be open to trade delegates, government, investors and industry associations. The second day will be open to anyone interested in finding out more about the technology being developed in Canterbury.
