BroadcastAsia2006 has new venue for both visitors and exhibitors
MUMBAI: – BroadcastAsia2006, the multimedia and entertainment technology trade show in Asia, organised by Singapore Exhibition Services (SES), will be moving its show from halls 1 and 2 of the Singapore Expo to halls 7 and 8 in 2006.
“We are very excited about moving to the new halls,” says Singapore Exhibition Services Pte Ltd (SES), project director, Jackson Yeoh.
He adds, “In previous years, visitors had to walk 600 metres from the train station to get to the exhibition. The new venue offers increased benefits for both visitors and exhibitors, as it is closer to the MRT line, taxi stand, F&B outlets and car parks, thus making it more accessible to all.”
“Apart from practical benefits, the move will create a distinct identity and branding for BroadcastAsia2006, yet still drawing on its synergy and cooperation with its information technology exhibition counterparts – CommunicAsia2006 and EnterpriseIT2006. Despite being separated by a small road, the new venue is still close enough that people can walk over from one show to the other, ” Yeoh added.
The BroadcastAsia2006 International Conference, held as part of the event, will also be delivered in the new extension.This year’s show will also feature key emerging technologies, such as Internet protocol television (IPTV), broadcasting to handhelds, video on demand, personal video recording, digital audio broadcasting (DAB), tapeless technology, computer graphics and animation, and high-definition (HD) technology.
To date, top names in the industry that have signed up include Tandberg Television, Harris Corporation, Scopus Network Technologies, DVB – Digital Video Broadcasting, Barco, Quantel, Qualcomm and Conax.
Next year’s show includes the BroadcastAsia2006 International Conference and incorporates ComGraphics&Animation 2006, Professional Audio Technology2006 and CableSat2006 shows.

CNN-News18 to host Fury in the Gulf conclave on West Asia crisis
Three-hour summit to unpack geopolitical fallout and impact on India
MUMBAI: CNN-News18 is set to host a special three-hour broadcast, Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave, on April 7, aiming to decode the escalating West Asia crisis and its far-reaching implications for India.
Scheduled from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the conclave comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are reshaping global geopolitics and triggering economic uncertainty. With India’s deep energy ties, trade links and large diaspora in the Gulf, the developments carry significant domestic relevance.
Built around the theme ‘Conflict, Consequences, and The Future,’ the programme will feature six curated sessions combining one-on-one interviews and panel discussions. The focus is to cut through the clutter and offer viewers a clearer understanding of the fast-evolving situation.
Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
