NAGPUR, INDIA: Vidarbha Computer and Media Dealers' Welfare Association (VCMDWA) successfully ended its four-day event, Summer Comp-Ex. It was inaugurated at Ladies Club Lawn, Civil Lines, Nagpur on June 12 by Praveen Darade, Collector, Nagpur District.

The expo witnessed more than 1.5 lakh visitors, who checked out the latest technologies and products from IT, telecom, office automation, education, training and software industries.

The most popular gadgets on display were small-sized netbooks, nettops, tablet PCs, security cameras and systems, note-counting machines, electronic safes, TV-cum-LCD monitors, Apple Macbooks and wireless networking products.

Many inquires were also registered for degree courses as well as other technical/job oriented courses, offered by YCMOU and HCL Career Development Center, who had their stalls at Comp-Ex.

The first Summer Comp-Ex was held in June last year with just about 20 stalls. This time, the number of stalls increased and a much larger venue had to be chosen. “We witnessed a much better response compared to previous year. This year the number of visitors also doubled and we were able to demonstrate our products, answer customer queries in an efficient manner. This was made especially possible as space was not at all a constraint,” expressed Dinesh Gupta of Datatronics Systems, Nagpur.

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, VCMDWA provided stalls to the Nagpur Collectorate for providing online validation/updation in the Electoral Voters List and also making instant Voter ID cards. “I am very happy to say that during the expo, thousands of citizens took the benefit of this wonderful facility,” said Prashant Ugemuge, President, VCMDWA.

The Best Stall Awards at Comp-Ex is awarded to the participants,who not only decorate there stall the best way possible, but also displays their product efficiently and handles customer inquiries promptly. Shreyas Infotech won the 2nd price in this category and the top honors went to Vidarbha Infotech.
