SIMO TCI was a
History
It was conceived as a trade fair devoted to
In its most successful years from late 1990s to early 2000s, it was considered the second largest computer fair in Europe after CeBIT,[5] as more than 900 exhibitors were present, distributed in 65,000 m2 taking up eight IFEMA pavilions, and reaching up 300,000 visitors.[6]
In the late 2000s the number of exhibitors started to decline. This led to the cancellation of the 2008 edition. In 2009 was resumed as SIMO Network, devoted exclusively to business-oriented computing and IT professionals,[7] but this approach wasn't successful and the last SIMO TCI took place in 2013.
Taking advantage of the name, SIMO Educación (SIMO Education) was started in 2014 by IFEMA, devoted only to educational technologies and a much smaller scope (taking up only one pavilion and reaching up about 10,000 visitors).
