E-Services Global Sourcing conference and exhibition

I have been reading in the news about this year’s business process outsourcing (BPO)trade show. It’s the 2008 E-Services Global Sourcing Conference and Exhibition recently held at SMX Convention Center, Philippines last Feb. 11-12 participated by over 100 exhibitors. During this e-Services conference, fifteen regional information and communications technology hubs were being promoted as potential areas for offshore outsourcing services giving offshore outsourcers a wider choice of location, not just Metro Manila. These 15 regional hubs will have their own trade show displays, the cost of which is said to be subsidized by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

I haven’t visited this E-services exhibition. But I’m assuming that some of the trade show booths were built using the portable collapsible or compact modular truss that can be easily set up without tools. Or they have one of those telescoping banner stands that can be used as a single or double sided unit, and with the horizontal and vertical telescopic poles that allows the exhibitor to present banner graphics from specified width and height. I hope the exhibition was able to showcase the investment readiness of cities outside Metro Manila and outsourcers have now chosen where to invest.
