The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) announced that the United States Department of Commerce (USDOC) has granted Trade Fair Certification for CES Asia 2018.

This certification is a formal federal endorsement of CES Asia as a recognized opportunity to showcase U.S. products and services. It is granted by the USDOC, which will provide promotional outreach to expand U.S. exhibitor participation. Trade Fair Certification also benefits buyers and companies that seek to import products and technology from the United States.

Owned and produced by CTA and co-produced by Shanghai Intex, CES Asia 2018 will run from June 13-15, in Shanghai, China.

“This recertification and endorsement – for the third year in a row – reflects the value and quality of CES Asia, the region’s premier tech show,” said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, CES, and corporate business strategy, CTA. “We work hard to bring a curated group of exhibitors to the show. USDOC’s partnership over the years has been integral to that mission.”

“As we gear up for 2018, USDOC’s efforts to expand and promote the show among U.S. exhibitors will be more valuable than ever.”

The Trade Fair Certification creates public-private partnerships to increase U.S. exports and to expand U.S. participation in international tradeshows. Benefits include the USDOC’s official endorsement, promotional support, recruitment efforts and show-related services. It also signals federal confidence in the market where U.S. firms will be selling their products and services.

CES Asia 2018 is expected to cover 42,000 gross square meters (21,000 net square meters) of exhibit space with more than 500 exhibiting companies. Total attendance is projected to reach 40,000, including 1,200 members of the media.
