''[[Wikinews]]'' reporter [[User:BrockF5|Rico Shen]] attended the fair, which, this year, highlighted TECA's 60th anniversary.

At the [[w:The Grand Hotel|Taipei Grand Hotel]] (Yuanshan Hall), some participants (exhibitors) rented soundproof guest rooms, which offered the best quality and performance for audio experiences. With high-definition television becoming a popular topic, some pre-market or marketed wide-screen HDTVs featuring 1080p were exhibited at the [[w:Taipei World Trade Center|Taipei World Trade Center]] (TWTC Hall).

The TAVF show runs from November 8 to 12, closing at 8:00 p.m. (Taipei Time) each night except November 12, which has a closing time of 6 p.m. To assist visitors from The Grand Hotel, TWTC and TECA hired the Metropolitan Transport Corporation for an inter-hall shuttle service.
