Bulgaria's biggest exhibition for computers, software, Internet, communications, nets and whole IT decisions, Bait Expo 2009, has been canceled over the global financial crisis.

The decision has been made by the governing council of the Bulgarian Association of Information Technology (BAIT), headed by Teodor Zahov, the Pari Daily reported.

In Zahov's words, the reason of the move cancellation of the exhibition is the negative effect of the global financial crisis on the IT business. The companies simply cannot afford the cost of taking part in it.

Bait Expo 2009 will be substituted by the Bait@Home exhibition which will take place December 2-6 in Sofia, and there will be maily for consumers' electronics.

"Bait@Home cannot substitute Bait Expo... BAIT will be satisfied even with a smalled exhibition... We have been following similar exhibitions in the region, and they can be described as unsuccessful. That is why we decided not to organize Bait Expo this year", Zahov said.

The Information Technology Association has already started a research on which companies are willing to take part in an exhibition in 2010. In this way BAIT will decide whether to organize Bait Expo 2010 or not, Zahov added.
