For the last six years, Systems Integration Philippines (SIP) has become synonymous to being the one-stop marketplace for technologies and solutions for our modern business and lifestyle needs. This year is bigger and better with the comprehensive line-up of exhibitors and the new venue.

SIP 2008 will now be held at the country’s biggest and most impressive exhibition center, the SMX Convention Center beside the Mall of Asia, covering a gross area of more than 10,000 square meters. The event boasts an assembly of more than 480 exhibitors and agents representing products and services from 21 countries around the world.

The show will have four sections – corporate gifts expo (gifts and premium for branding), Commworld ’08 (IT and electronics), PALMM Philippines ’08 (professional audio, video lighting and music) and the TOPS Show ’08 (office equipment and technology).

“This is by far the biggest event for this fast growing industry. The show has continually been growing and our list of exhibitors truly believes that this is the show for their best products and services. There is something new for everyone including a huge corporate gifts pavilion,” Jing Lagandaon, chief operations officer of Global-Link Exhibitions Specialist Inc., organizer of the mega event, said.
