Problems we'd all like to have

The Taipei Times reports on a problem most trade fair organisers would give their right arms for: space constraint at one of the world's largest IT events, Computex. The fact that the story involves mainland Chinese companies trading space with Taiwanese counterparts add spice to it.

Computex appears to have thrived despite the general move away from large, general IT events, despite the relocation of many Taiwanese IT companies into the mainland and despite less than ideal exhibition facilities for such a large event. That last constraint will be solved next year when the new hall opens in Nankang and, with people so eager to get in, the future of the show looks pretty solid.
