16th CAN Into-Tech starts today
KATHMANDU, JAN 12 -
CAN Info-Tech, one of the most visited annual events dedicated to information and communications technology, launches Wednesday at Exhibition Hall, Bhrikuti Mandap. Organised by the Computer Association of Nepal (CAN), the expo will run for six days.
This is the 16th edition of the annual event which has been organised with a view to showcasing the latest technological development in ICT and create awareness among the people about the IT sector of Nepal.
"This is a complete forum to find out about IT and updates in the sector as we bring all types of products related to the information, communication and entertainment technology under one roof," said Suresh Karna, president of CAN. "It is also the best opportunity for exhibitors to promote products."
According to CAN, various brands of laptops, computers, security systems, software, UPS, invertors, mobiles, iPods and digital cameras among others will be available at the event. And customers can even buy quality products at a competitive price.
Keeping in mind the weakness of the parking space management last year, CAN has also managed the venue in such a way so that visitors do not have to face difficulties.
The annual event is also considered as the best place to shop for IT products. "As there will be stiff competition among the exhibitors, potential buyers can buy the desired products at heavy discounts," said Binod Dhakal, general secretary of CAN.
At the event, there will be presence of various brands such as Lenovo, HP, Sony, Brother, Samsung, Umax, Sumax, Toshiba and HCL among others. Samsung is also launching its laptops for the first time in Nepal. Likewise, Brother is bringing antivirus, password manager for MAC users, and internet security software for ultra mini PCs.
Similarly, Neoteric will offer attractive discounts on the purchase of HP laptops. The price range of the HP brand laptops starts from Rs. 30,000 and customers can get 10 various products worth Rs. 6,000 free of cost on the purchase of any HP laptop.
The tickets are priced at Rs. 30 for students and Rs. 50 for the general people. The tickets will cost Rs. 150 during the business days scheduled for Jan. 14 and Jan. 18. "We have set the price at Rs. 150 for these two days to minimise extra crowd and provide easier opportunity to potential buyers and sellers," Said Dhakal.
Beside the major event, CAN will also hold IT conference on Jan. 16-17 focusing on the ICT sector and Nepal's economy under the theme "Next IT Economy: A Future Talk" at the Nepal Tourism Board's hall. In the conference, national and international IT specialists will be presenting 20 papers on nine topics related to the IT sector.
The conference will be participated in by over 150 IT focal points, representatives from Nepal Telecom and other IT professionals.
In the mega event, 100 exhibitors will display various brands of their IT products in 270 stalls.
