Looking back at SX07: IT. Security Race. Singapore. Thailand. Malaysia


M.Tech propelled the annual Security Exchange (SX) to a new height this year and for the first time in our history, it was held regionally, namely in Thailand and Malaysia other than hometown- Singapore. SX was in the third year running for Singapore and it drew above 2500 registrants two weeks before the event date regionally. A total of 1220 delegates participated in the conference and exhibition at Grand Hyatt, Singapore on 30 October, Intercontinental Bangkok, Thailand on 7 November and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on 14 November.

To all the SX delegates who have shared the momentous event with us, we would like to say a big " Thank you!" and we hope you will give us your continued support and presence in 2008!

Beside the huge turnout, we also receive very encouraging feedback from delegates regionally that they have benefited from the lively and insightful discussions both delivered in seminar as well as panel discussion formats. Both speakers and MCs have tried very hard to keep the sessions engaging and meaningful. Well done! We shall strive to improve further on the quality of future SX in every detail possible.

We have made available individual country's program link to SX conference contents (presentations from participating speakers), for such request, please email to sgmarcom@mtechpro.com. We continue to welcome any constructive feedback pertaining the event, if you think your suggestions may make a difference in SX08, kindly drop an email to annabelletok@mtechpro.com.
