CES Asia wrapped up this week at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre (SNIEC) and Kerry Hotel in China.
The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) provided preliminary attendance figures for the three-day show, which saw a footprint increase of 24 percent vs. 2017. According to the group, the event included over 46,000 attendees (up 20 percent), with 1,400-plus members of the global media. More than 500 companies exhibited.
“5G and AI are igniting growth across the entire tech ecosystem changing the way we interact with technology and the world around us,” said Gary Shapiro, CTA president/CEO. “It’s incredible to see technology refining and reinventing itself at such a fast pace. Just six months ago we were at CES with life-altering tech all around us. This week, I saw that technology refined, enhanced and built upon in many ways, especially with AI and 5G integration and the creative ways those technologies are being imagined and implemented.”
