Las Vegas
COMDEX
COMDEX (Computer Dealer's Exhibition) was a
computer expo held in
Las Vegas, Nevada, each November from 1979 to 2003. It was one of
the largest computer trade shows in the world. The first COMDEX was held
in 1979 at
the
MGM Grand, with 150 exhibitors and 4000 attendees. In
1981, the
first COMDEX/Spring was held in
New York City.
In 2000, major companies such as IBM, Apple Computer, and Compaq (now merged
with Hewlett-Packard) decided to discontinue their involvement with COMDEX
because of its runaway costs and decline in quality. In June 2004, COMDEX officially postponed the 2004 exhibition in Las Vegas due to lack of
heavy-weight participants. COMDEX has been cancelled for 2005, and its future
status is uncertain.
