Intellect Consumer Electronics Conference 2008: Tomorrow's Technology

Thursday 03 July 2008, Cumberland Hotel, London, W1H 7DL

The Consumer Electronics Conference was back for the fourth year running, with a fantastic sponsor line up - GfK, Allianz, Domestic and General, Scottish and Southern, and Freeview Playback.

What was talked about?

The theme of this year's conference was ‘Tomorrow's Technology’, which brought 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 was not be missed.

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

Other issues the conference explored included:

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
