Despite the fact that CES and the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona a few days ago, they have positioned themselves as the first two major technological events of the year, the truth is that the calendar hides a multitude of other events that have also become an obligatory step for most of the actors involved in the sector of consumer electronics. Despite the fact that Asia and North America are the world poles in the manufacture of devices, the truth is that the Old Continent continues to be the main showcase in which all these terminals are shown and also, the advances linked to them.
With the hangover of the Barcelona event, we are already seeing engines warm up for the next great fair. In this case it will be the CeBIT, to be held in the German city of Hannover. During the following lines, we will tell you more about this event and what may be the highlight that we can see during it.
When will it take place?
Normally, in this type of event, the start and end dates tend to remain more or less stable throughout the different editions. CeBIT is usually the big event of the month of March and in this case, it will take place between days 20 and 24. As a curious fact: Japan will be the leading country during the 2017 event.
What can we see?
Unlike others such as MWC, at the German fair the different terminals do not have all the prominence, but rather, the trends that we could see in them in the short term. According to its organizersDuring this year, attention will be taken by advances such as the 5G, virtual reality or the Internet of Things, some of these elements are already consolidating at high speed on tablets and smartphones.
Some striking facts
During the 2016 edition, some indicators were seen that made it possible to position CeBIT as one of the world benchmarks in consumer electronics. Last year more than 4.000 companies belonging to telecommunications, computing and device manufacturers among other groups. 70 countries were represented during this event. Smart cities or cybersecurity were the main areas of work.
Do you think that these types of events are crucial to determine the course that the terminals will follow in the future or do you think that the last word is the manufacturers themselves?
