PC EXPO - technical definition

A trade show for resellers, corporate managers and technical professionals from CMP Media LLC, a subsidiary of United Business Media. First held in New York in 1983 with 120 exhibitors and 9,600 attendees, the show grew from the personal computer's early years to 550 vendors and more than 86,000 attendees by 1999. By 2002, attendance had dropped to half that number due to the economy. PC EXPO has been brought under the umbrella of TECHXNY, an annual fall technology event in New York City. The exhibit floor showcases content, product launches, awards and demonstrations.
