LONDON – The legendary COMDEX is back! The Computer Dealer Expo, otherwise known as COMDEX, was one of the largest computer trade shows in the world when it was held in Las Vegas between 1979 to 2003.

Now COMDEX is being brought back by UBM, a leading global provider of business media and marketing services, as a virtual event for 2010 that was designed for the global technology sales channel. Virtual event provider UBM is taking COMDEX back to its roots when the show takes place Nov. 16-17.

At its peak COMDEX was the world's most famous trade show, attracting more than 200,000 visitors and 2,300 IT industry exhibitors from around the world before the show closed after the 2003 show.  UBM acquired COMDEX in 2006 as part of its acquisition of MediaLive International Inc.

The virtual COMDEX event is being launched by UBM's Everything Channel business. Everything Channel is going back to the original 1979 concept of an event called Computer Dealer Exhibition.

The new show will include: keynote speakers; a conference hall with technical, product, channel and business conference tracks; an exhibit hall with booths and pavilions provided by technology vendors; and a test center with demos of cutting-edge technology solutions.
