Status note

The organiser has not yet announced the next Chennai edition; the official site still shows the 2026 editions as the most recent. The dates above are the last confirmed edition. The official website (caiexpo.in) is live but is updated only sporadically — its "Upcoming Events" block carries no years, which is why the automated sweep reported "no dates".
