“The Chinese consumer electronics
market is expected to grow to nearly $100 billion by 2009. This
explosive growth provides incredible opportunities for U.S.
companies to expand their products and technology into the Chinese
marketplace,” said Shapiro. “CEA is thrilled to partner with the
China Electronic Chamber of Commerce (CECC) and SINOCES, as SINOCES
enables our members to explore new international business
opportunities and allows CEA to promote our tradeshow, the
International CES, to an international audience.”
Shapiro’s keynote address is slated for 2:15 p.m. Friday, July 6, at
the Shangri-La Hotel in Qingdao. Shapiro will discuss the future of
the worldwide consumer electronics industry and the global growth of
the International CES, CEA’s flagship event and the world’s largest
tradeshow for consumer technology.
The international scope of SINOCES continues to expand, with the
2007 show drawing the largest presence of U.S. consumer technology
companies in show history. Key U.S. companies exhibiting at SINOCES
2007 include Apple, Dolby, GE, Gibson, Hewlett Packard and Intel.
The 2006 SINOCES hosted 390 exhibitors, including 80 foreign
exhibitors, and the number of international exhibitors in 2007 is
expected to increase over 2006.
SINOCES 2007 will run July 6-9, 2007, at the Qingdao International
Convention Center in Qingdao, China. SINOCES is the largest consumer
electronics event in China and the only one endorsed by the Chinese
