MaltaMeter visited the Gozo Computer and Technology fair today morning.
If there is one word I would use to describe it, it's "quiet". The
fair, held in the Gozo sports complex, consisted of about 12 stands.
Present were OnVol, who were hosting a LAN party co-organised by
GozoLan in their stand, the largest. Also present were suppliers such
as PC Zone and ICS, who were showcasing their latest products. The MITI
was also present, as well as some computer-related furniture sellers.
One stand belonged to the Swatar Training Centre (STC) which was
displaying its array of courses.
Word from the suppliers was that the fair was quite a disappointment.
Advertising for the fair was poor at best. Few people attended the
event during Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning. Although the
organisers promised more people would be attending today evening, I
highly doubt that. The problem was apparent as we entered the event,
where someone was asking all who came in where they heard about the
event.
Next time, the organisers should make sure the event gets more exposure
- suppliers surely are not happy with spending good money for stands
which then remain empty. That being said, I think it's good that a
Computer and Technology fair was organised in Gozo, it's good to
include everyone in the growing world of IT and that includes more
women, experienced workers and Gozotians!
