Computex Taipei’s organizers, Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and Taipei Computer Association (TCA), originally rescheduled the conference from June to September with plans for live-streamed product launches. But with many countries still under travel restrictions, the organizing team has given up on 2020 altogether. Computex will focus on next year’s event, set to take place on July 1-5, 2021. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced most tech conferences this year to either postpone their events, bring them online or cancel them altogether.
