COMPUTEX is the world’s most important ICT hardware show and, since the AI boom, the main stage for AI servers, GPUs and data centre hardware. NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek and the Taiwanese ODM ecosystem (Foxconn, Quanta, Wistron, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI) use its keynotes to set the industry’s agenda. The 2026 edition, themed “AI Together”, had about 1,500 exhibitors and 6,000 booths, and 2025 recorded 86,521 visitors. If you sell into the AI hardware supply chain, the COMPUTEX attendee list is where your buyers are.

This guide is for teams planning COMPUTEX 2027.

Registration and tickets

Industry professionals pre-register online for the trade days. Public access is only on the last day, with a NT$200 full ticket (NT$100 concession) through TaiTIX or at the venue. Under-18s aren’t admitted.

Matchmaking and data

Registration and exhibitor search run through computextaipei.com.tw, and TAITRA organises buyer matchmaking and procurement meetings for international buyers. Keynote seats and meetings with major vendors are very hard to get, which makes advance planning essential. With four venues across the city, you need to know which targets are where, and who from each company is attending.

Pros and cons

Can I get the COMPUTEX attendee list?

Want the COMPUTEX attendee list?

Event apps are built for browsing, not for sales teams. They cap connections, hide data behind logins and rarely let you export anything. I pull attendee, exhibitor and speaker data from the app and the event website, enrich every profile and hand you a clean file before the doors open, so your reps can book meetings in advance and follow up properly afterwards.
