DigiТec Expo makes expensive snacks and slow internet a ‘tradition’

This year, DigiТec Expo exhibit showed many improvements, including 70% increase in the number of visitors and much better organisational arrangement.

However, surprising as it may be for an IT event of such a scale with VivaCell-MTS, Ucom, GNC Alpha as providers, the internet connection was close to dysfunctional.

How can a journalist operate in such conditions or provide a prompt coverage? Despite the presence of information partners at the exhibit, creation of an article or an online publication was near impossible.

Exorbitant prices at the exhibit cafeteria came as another weak chain of the event.

Though repeatedly pointed out, organisational oversights at the event have been ignored every year with unwavering persistence.
