Dubai: The 26th edition of Gitex Shopper Autumn 2016 opened doors on Saturday and was inaugurated by Sami Ahmad Dhaen Al Qamzi, Director General of the Department of Economic Development in Dubai.
The eight-day event, taking place at Dubai World Trade Centre, offers bargain-hunters deals on products that include smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, wearable technology and cameras, while a broad range of products and accessories are being added to bundled deals.
“Gitex Shopper is the perfect place to find the latest technology products at the best possible prices and in the most convenient location. There is so much on offer for visitors, it really is the one-stop-shop for all your electronic needs,” said Trixie LohMirmand, Senior Vice-President, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), organiser of the event.
