Bangalore, the capital city of Karnataka, has been voted the most livable city in India. With gradually diminishing green spaces and its rising prominence as a major center for the IT industry, Bangalore is now popularly called the Silicon Valley of India. Entitled with this epithet, it is natural that the city hosts conferences and seminars at various levels. IMTEX, EXCON, STONA, AERO shows are among the business events in Bangalore, frequently held at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre or the Karnataka Trade Promotion Organisation Convention Centre. Other events in Bangalore include India Food Park Expo, Asia Jewels Fair, theatre and cultural shows, art exhibitions, food festivals, and music concerts, attracting national and international tourists alike.
