KATHMANDU: Nepal Electrical Association is geared up for the fifth international electrical-electronic products' exhibition and symposium "Electro Tech 2009" which will be held from December 1 to 5.

The exhibition and symposium is targeted at making people aware of electronic items available in the world market as well as the importance of electronic usage while conserving energy methods.

President and coordinator Nepal Electrical Association Govinda Prasad Kandel said 125 of the targeted 175 stalls have already been booked "This is not going to be a buy and sell expo. Instead we are aiming at providing awareness to people about the importance of energy saving and are going by the motto -- Save energy, protect the environment," he added.

Around 45,000 people are expected to visit the expo over a period of five days. Visitors can view products and place a booking but the products being showcased will not be put on sale.

The association has decided to hold seminars on alternative energy as well as power saving methods. The expo will be held at Bhrikuti Mandap's exhibition hall.
