CES Las Vegas is the world’s biggest electronic event open to the public. At the 2016 show, Wallonia was represented by its new brand, Digital Wallonia.
CES (the Consumer Electronics Show)**, which is held in Las Vegas in January every year, is the world’s biggest electronic event open to the public, and more generally today, for all businesses active in the field of information technology.** So it is the perfect place to develop your business, both at the show itself with the different exhibitors, but also at all the special events and talks organised for the occasion.
In terms of visitor numbers, CES 2015 broke new records with more than 170,000 participants from around the world on the 200,000m2 of exhibition space covered by the show. For these reasons, CES is unarguably the place to be for everyone involved in tech with the presence of over 3,500 exhibitors (82% of whom belong to the Fortune 100), more than 370 start-ups gathered together in Eureka Park and 4,800 CEOs from 153 countries.
CES also offers the ideal opportunity to find out about the latest technological trends, such as the Internet of Things, 3D printing and virtual reality, in order to seize opportunities in new markets, like the Silver Economy, the Smart Home, self-driving cars and e-health.
