Sitex 2017 highlights

Here comes Sitex 2017

Well, it's end November, which means Sitex is upon us once again. Now in its 29th edition, Sitex 2017 will, as usual, be taking place at the Singapore Expo from Nov 23 to 26; and doors will open from 11am in the morning all the way to 9pm daily. That said, unlike past years where it was held at Halls 5 and 6, this year's Sitex will be at Halls 7 and 8, which are in the other large building to the right of Hall 6 just across the road. So don't go to the wrong halls!

Aside from the wide spread of tech gadgets and home electronics goods on sale (our earlier star buys preview article here), there are other activities to look out for at this show, including a Tech Hunt contest and lucky draws with attractive prizes waiting to be won. For more details on what's happening in these zones, check out this earlier article.
