Weekly updates for regional networking and IT executives.

In print we now publish, along with Computerworld Hong Kong, Enterprise Networks Asia, TelecomAsia, WirelessAsia, and TelecomChina (Chinese-language), as well as niche e-newsletters on broadband, tests & measurements and satellite.

Lastly, I am pleased to share some exciting news with you-as some of you may have noticed, we have a new logo and company name on our masthead. Questex Media Group Inc., a newly formed diversified business media publisher and event producer, has acquired five key divisions-including all Asian operations-of our previous parent company, Advanstar Communications. Questex is backed by The Audax Group, a leading investor in middle-market companies, which manages in excess of US$1 billion in equity and mezzanine debt capital. This new organization will enable increased focus on our marketplace, increased focus on our individual brands, increased focus on you, our customer, and increased access to funding for new initiatives and further growth of our company.

I, along with the rest of the team at Computerworld Hong Kong look forward to continuing to service your needs as part of Questex. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have, or any ideas for other media to better serve your needs.
