Practical Notes
- COMPUTEX badges grant access to TaiNEX 1&2 and TWTC simultaneously; TICC forum sessions require separate forum registration (many were fully booked before the show opened). [1]
- Getting there: TaiNEX (Nangang) is served by MRT Blue Line (Nangang Exhibition Center station). TICC is near MRT Blue/Red Line Taipei City Hall. NTUST (COSCUP) is at MRT Daan District Office station.
- Language: COMPUTEX, SEMICON, AWS Summit, and GTC are English-friendly. COSCUP and DevOpsDays are bilingual. iThome Cloud Summit is primarily Mandarin.
- CYBERSEC returns annually in May; the 2026 edition drew 20,000 attendees and 400+ exhibiting brands. [5]
