Comdex Is Still Dead... Or, At Least, In Greece
from the like-anyone-believed-it-would-be-back dept
Last year, when it was announced that there would be no fall Comdex in Vegas, the organizers promised it would be back in 2005. Of course, no one actually believed it would be. Well, it appears that, once again there will be no Las Vegas Comdex. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has said that while dates were reserved, the lack of communication from the show's organizers means that they're going to start offering up that space to other conventions. The folks who put on Comdex have apparently decided to head off to Europe and will try to put on a Comdex in Greece at the same time the Vegas one was scheduled for. Somehow, you get the feeling that if Comdex was failing in Vegas, it's not going to do much better in Greece. Hopefully, the organizers make sure that no one shows any video games, since that might break Greek law.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
