OPINION: Did 835,000 people really attend COMEX 2012 organized by SPH's unit?
CNET Asia
I cannot understand how these numbers were calculated. Firstly, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), America's biggest consumer tradeshow, hosts about 135K people from all over the world. The area of that show is about what... more than ten times the size of COMEX? And we have 835,000 local visitors?
Also, COMEX is held on level 4 and 6 of Suntec City. Each level is about 12,000 square meters, which makes it 24,000 square meters for both levels. Assuming that two-thirds of the space is used for display, structures, (which is a GROSS underestimation) there remains 8,000 square meters available for people to walk around in to be packed like sardines.
