Taipei Cycle 2022 details physical and virtual components for March events

Today marks one month until Taipei Cycle 2022, and as part of the opening day countdown the team behind the event have given a preview of the virtual, DigitalGo, element of this year’s show.

Taking place from March 9th – 12th, the physical event, located at the Nangang Exhibition Centre (known as TaiNEX), will happen in tandem with the Taipei Cycle DigitalGo virtual exhibition, which has been designed to remove travel and time zone barriers for international exhibitors and international businesses.

With the show being delivered as a hybrid event, organisers have enabled close to 700 physical exhibitors, and over 2,200 exhibition booths, to be complemented by around 200 virtual exhibitors, making it possible to bring together industry leaders from across the globe.

Ms. Emilia Shih, Executive Director of Exhibition Department, TAITRA, commented: “At this difficult moment, it is fortunate that the global cycling industry is doing very well. As will be evident from the exhibitions, electrification, smart devices, and eco-friendliness have become key new trends, it is thus crucial to maintain the momentum and energy required to keep the industry growing. This is exactly why we have provided Taipei Cycle DigitalGo, a powerful virtual platform that will enable our clients to reach for more.”
