But don’t just go to IT Show, buy some things, and leave. There are actually a lot of other things going on, from a tech showcase to a booth babes contest. There's also a way to get cash vouchers to add to the savings that you’re already getting at the show.

In brief, here are some highlights:

Trade-in Program

Have old or faulty laptops, tablets, or smartphones you want to get rid of? There’s a program at IT Show that lets you trade them in for cash vouchers to spend at the show. All IT Show cash vouchers come in denominations of S$10, and are accepted by most major brands and exhibitors, except M1, Singnet, ViewQwest, banks, credit card, and insurance companies. You can find out the terms and conditions here.
