CeBIT Australia 2009
gateProtect on the German Pavilion



CeBIT Australia, in its eighth year, faced a challenging year in 2009– and came through strongly.


From a two-hall exhibition with 384 companies and 15,870 visitors in 2002, CeBIT Australia 2009 defied economic uncertainties to not only fill three halls with 576 exhibitors and 29,403 visitors, but introduce new innovative show floor displays such as our Webciety
area and stage a successful three-day conference program with five conferences, nine streams and 128 speakers including Federal and State Ministers, international policy setters and leaders from the
technology industry in Australia and internationally.

The resilience of CeBIT Australia in 2009 was above all a tribute to the realisation among all sectors of government and industry that technology is a key to solving so many of the problems that face businesses and individuals in times of challenge.
