London, 18 March 2008 – CommunicAsia and BroadcastAsia - The most established and relevant trade event for the global infocomm and media industries - will once again be held in Singapore from 17 – 20 June 2008.

Reflecting the synergistic trend in the infocomm and digital media industries, CommunicAsia2008 and BroadcastAsia2008 is set to embrace the convergence of digital multimedia technology and the entertainment value chain as never before. Consequently more companies are now making the trip to Singapore from European bases – for example the German pavilion is set to hold a record number of companies and there are also strong attendance numbers already confirmed from Scandinavian nations.
