Digi:media 2013 has been cancelled due to lack of exhibitor interest.
Manuel Mataré, director of Digi:media, said the ‘content’ pillar of the event, scheduled for 10 – 12 April, was complete but that the ‘technology’ pillar (ie. exhibition) was proving a problem. In a statement statement he said cancellations, cutbacks of exhibition space - but above all the pronounced reserve shown by representative players in the sector do not let us expect a Digi:media which will do justice to its own quality claims and the interests of the industry.
“It was a hard decision for us to cancel digi:media 2013. But given the current state of registrations and the unlikely prospect of a radical turnaround in registration patterns, it was time to pull the ripcord.”
