COMDDAP Announces Several Contests for December Expo

Last Thursday, Sept. 23, I was among some bloggers who were invited by COMDDAP to post some of their material on my blog. I felt very honored as I am a fresh blogger and have not been consistent with my blog posts. They treated us to a meal via Travel Cafe and we were welcomed by the people behind the group.

Since it was traffic outside, the other bloggers who got invited were inconsistent with the time they arrived. This is why the group decided to talk to each blogger separately. I arrived in the event with Let's Go Sago, who I have never met in my entire life. We were welcomed and told about the event that COMDDAP was planning for December 2010.

Every year, COMDDAP (Computer Manufacturers, Distributors, and Dealers Association of the Philippines) hosts an event held on the first week of December to showcase the best of the IT world. This year, the 2010 Manila Expo is scheduled to be at the SMX Convention Center on December 2-5, 10am-7pm. The good news about this event is that it is FREE!

What can you get from attending the expo? 

COMDDAP has long made it a point to showcase the different IT products since 1986. [Yes, it's the same year I was born] They have witnessed the IT industry change before their very eyes and they are really knowledgeable of the different products that have and will make it in the market. Think of the event as a one-stop shop where you can get some gadgets for your Christmas shopping!

Okay, so what else?

Did I mention they have a series of contests as well as an auction?


Imagen.I.T. Pinoy
The theme for this year is called Imagen.I.T. Pinoy because COMDDAP believes that Filipinos are really talented in just about any field. COMDDAP is inviting EVERYONE to submit their digital art, no matter how it was made as long as it is in digital format. 


Oldest PC Hunt
If you still have an old PC at home, even if it isn't working anymore, you better bring it with you on December 2-5. You might win some prizes that they haven't disclosed with us yet!

Auction
One of the biggest reasons why COMDDAP holds its events on December is because each attendee has been alloted several months to save money for the live auction held on these dates. At the same time, it is the season when everyone just received their 13th month bonus! This is perfect timing for people to enjoy auctioning new gadgets!

Mark your calendars people!
