The short version. COMPUTEX is where the computing hardware industry meets, and in the AI era it has become one of the most consequential technology shows anywhere — the 2026 edition ran under the theme AI Together with 1,500 exhibitors from 33 countries. The 2027 edition is 1–4 June 2027, across four Taipei venues. The access rule that catches people out: it is a trade show first. Industry visitors get in free but need to look like industry; the general public gets the last day only, and pays.

Getting in — read this before you book

The rules below are the 2026 edition's. The 2027 admission policy has not been published yet, but the structure has been stable:

Trade visitors and investors: admitted all four days, free, by pre-registration. The process is: register as a TAITRA member (free) on the official site, complete event pre-registration, and receive a QR code by email.
And then a detail no other English source seems to mention: at the door you are asked to present the QR code and two business cards. If you are attending as a professional, bring them.
The general public: admitted on the final day only, with a paid ticket — NT$200 for adults in 2026, NT$100 concession.
Nobody under 18 is admitted at all, on any day. Worth knowing if you are travelling as a family.
There is a dress code, and no pets.

The registration portal has a working English interface, so unlike most events in this library the barrier here is credentials rather than language or payment plumbing.

What's on the floor

Three pillars: AI and computing, robotics and mobility, and next-generation technology, with the InnoVEX startup area attached. The 2026 exhibitor list included NVIDIA, Intel, ASUS, GIGABYTE, MediaTek and Samsung. For anyone who follows the industry, the interest is that Taiwan is where the supply chain physically is — the companies exhibiting here are the ones that make the things announced elsewhere.

Getting there

The main venue, TaiNEX 1, sits directly above Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center station, the eastern terminus of the blue Bannan line and also served by the brown Wenhu line — you come up the escalator into the hall. From Taoyuan airport, take the Airport MRT from terminal 1 or 2 to Taipei Main Station and change to the Bannan line eastbound; allow a little over an hour.

On entry: most western, Japanese and Korean passport holders enter Taiwan visa-free for 90 days. Since late 2025 an online arrival card is reported to be required before landing — we could not reach the official portal to verify it ourselves, so check the immigration site directly rather than taking our word for it.

Status: Held annually. Note it has moved later in the calendar — the 2026 edition ran in June, where the show was long associated with May. Dates displayed on the show's own English homepage. The 2026 edition ran 2–5 June 2026. Dates and venues are confirmed on the organisers' own site. The 2027 admission policy, public-day date, prices and registration opening have not been published — the admission rules described below are the 2026 edition's and are given as a guide.
