| Organizers Share the Cost Pressure with Exhibitors |
| “Close Collaboration” is the theme of this year’s show and this is also suggested as the way to lead the industry to survive the global financial crisis. With the strong commitment of serving the industry, the Fair Organizers has reviewed the market condition and decided to make the 2009 Show to better cater to the needs of the industry. One of the initiatives is the introduction of special discounts on booth rental to ease the cost concern of exhibitors. |
| |
| “The industry is now in a restructuring period. Enterprises should take active strategy to safeguard their business. Building closer relationships among industry counterparts facilitates higher efficiency and it helps drag the industry out of the dark shadow of the financial turmoil. Given the discount, enterprises are now having higher flexibility to allocate their budget to strengthen their capability,” said Mr. Kong Hoi Wing, Chairman of HKPCA. |

| The Presence of the Whole Supply Chain for Better Co-operation |
| Seeing the needs of keeping a closer connection in the whole industry, the Fair will feature the whole supply chain, including material suppliers, manufacturers, equipment vendors and downstream customers, under one roof. The interactive meeting of all these parties at the show will help inspiring new ideas and generating new business opportunities to rejuvenate the industry. |

| |
| Since its debut in 2002, the Fair has kept expanding in size and importance. Now it has emerged as the flagship PCB and EA trade show in Southern China.

| Get Ready for the Rebound of the Market |
| The stimulus plan to the electronics and information technology industry approved by the Central People’s Government in February 2009 gives China's PCB industry encouraging news. According to the plan, the government will boost the industry by increasing the investment and expanding the domestic market with the development of the third-generation mobile communications network, internet and digital TVs. With PCBs being the necessary components in these electronic products, enterprises can take advantage of this favorable development to revive their business. With the December timeframe, the Fair's exhibitors will grasp the perfect time to capture the latest market development and make themselves in the most ideal position. |
