May 20, 2008: Bright lights, techno music and the federal communications minister were all part of the show as CeBit kicked off in Sydney.

The conference and exhibition extends over three days and is the largest technology trade show in the country.
“We’re looking forward to a very exciting and dynamic show,” said Jackie Taranto, managing director, Hannover Fairs Australia.
