Economy forces Intel to downsize Developer's Forum

GONE IS INTEL's facade of keeping up appearances in this winter of economic discontent, as the firm announced it would be ‘reformatting' it's Spring Developer's Forum, IDF Beijing 2009, into a one-day, local Chinese event.

An announcement on the company's website noted, "Given the current economic circumstances and business pressures the industry is facing globally, IDF Beijing 2009 is being reformatted to a one-day event".

It continued "IDF Beijing will feature keynotes, technical sessions and technology showcase all tailored for the Chinese market".

Oh well... that's the way Intel spring rolls, apparently. µ
