Between 600,000 and 670,000 people are expected to attend Cebit this year, down from 674,000 attendees last year, Doerries said. Some regular visitors to Cebit said they won't attend this year or will cut their trips to the fair short.
"I won't be able to spend so much time at the Cebit this year," said Ralf Hallmann, a telecommunications analyst for Bankgesellschaft Berlin.
