Kathmandu, Jan. 11
The
CAN Infotech 2022 is postponed due to the increasing rate of coronavirus
contagion.
Issuing
a press statement, the Computer Association of Nepal (CAN) Federation said on
Tuesday that the 27th edition of the largest exhibition of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is halted until further notice.
"Preparations
were at the final stage to organise the Infotech at the Bhrikutimandap Exhibition
Centre from February 1 to 6. IME Pay and Smart Choice Technologies have
sponsored the event but the event is postponed due to health risk posed by the
pandemic," General Secretary of CAN Federation, Narayan Thapa, said.
The
CAN Federation has postponed the event considering the raging expansion of COVID-19
contagion, and the decisions of the COVID-19 Crisis Management Centre (CCMC)
and districts in the Kathmandu Valley.
Earlier,
the organiser had announced that the exhibition would be organised in hybrid
from – physically at the Bhrikutimandap as wells as online.
The
expo was halted last year due to the pandemic and subsequent lockdown. It has
been organised regularly since 1995.
