Industries Converge at Transformative, World-Class Event
The 2015 CES Asia™ wrapped as a sold-out show today exceeding all expectations in its first year and setting a new standard for world-class trade events in China. More than 200 exhibitors from 16 countries spanned more than 20,000 gross square meters on a show floor that was previously expanded due to demand. During its three day run May 25-27, CES Asia welcomed more than 20,000 attendees., including more than 1,200 members of the media. CES Asia expects to release officially audited numbers within six weeks. Produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® and co-produced by INTEX, the 2015 CES Asia drew global businesses to showcase the latest innovations and technologies entering the Asian marketplace.
“CES Asia was by every measure a world-class affair, setting the bar for high-quality events in the region in terms of industry attendance, production value, conference programming, product introductions and the ability to bring together some of the brightest minds in the industry,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CEA. “Exhibitors at this inaugural event were courageous to trust us, frankly, but it’s those brave, curated companies that have helped us set a new international standard for show launches.”
Exhibitors have taken note of the incredible energy on the show floor and want more. Exhibitor space selection for 2016 started yesterday and already the equivalent of 85 percent of this year’s show floor has been sold, CES Asia plans to expand into a third hall next year, which nearly doubles available show floor space.
