Terrorist attack in Mumbai alters outcome of drinktek India...

Held November 27-28, drinktec India 08 coincided with the terrorist attacks that killed and injured hundreds in Mumbai.

The attacks, which began the evening of November 26, forced the cancellation of the opening ceremony of the beverage, liquid food and PET industry convention. Many attendees and exhibitors left immediately, while a few stayed until the official end of the event. The exhibition management reports that the success of the convention cannot be measured as a result of the crisis, but plans are in place to bring drinktec back to India in 2010, after drinktec 2009 takes place in Munich.
