Global Economic Crisis ties down potential Exhibitors and Sponsors
Despite the strong international response and good registration numbers with abstract submissions from Japan, Nigeria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Portugal, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, South Africa, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and the USA, this decision had to be made purely on financial issues.Together with m:con, our designated congress organizing agency, we decided to extend the preparation period to allow more potential sponsors and exhibitors to recover from the past economic crisis. Since for most Businesses and Enterprises, the budgets of the following year have been planned, we will have to look at a specific date in 2011, which we will announce as soon as possible.The academic program will stay untouched from this decision. The website will be maintained and updated as we approach our new date and venue in 2011.
