Thursday, 03 Jul 2008 10:21
Intellect is proud to announce that the Consumer Electronics Conference is back for the fourth year running, with a fantastic sponsor line up - GFK, Allianz, Domestic and General, Scottish and Southern, and Freeview Playback.

What’s being talked about?

The theme of this year's conference is ‘Tomorrow's Technology’, and will bring together all elements of the UK consumer electronics market, including senior representatives from manufacturers, retailers, broadcasters, government and media stakeholders. Looking at the new technologies and consumer behaviours that drive the UK as the biggest technology market in Europe, this insightful event should not be missed.

As energy consumption and carbon footprints become more important for consumers and business alike, and as the development and deployment of new content platforms continues a pace, Intellect’s Consumer Electronics Conference will offer a unique opportunity to listen what key stakeholders see as the future of the Consumer Electronics market.

Other issues the conference will explore includes:

  • the phenomenal growth of digital convergence as a key market driver in the CE industry
  • new technologies and consumer behaviours that are driving the UK as the biggest technology market in Europe
  • future developments of consumer electronics set to shape the economy
  • the transition of analogue to digital technologies
  • how your businesses are capitalising on digital convergence
